On May 1, 2019, EID completed the transfer of the assets and liabilities aligned with the EID’s specialty products business to separate legal entities (“EID Specialty Products Entities”), which were then distributed to DowDuPont.

In accordance with GAAP, the financial position and results of operations of EID ECP and the EID Specialty Products Entities are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The cash flows, comprehensive (loss) income, and equity related to EID ECP and the EID Specialty Products Entities have not been segregated and are included in the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and Consolidated Statements of Equity, respectively, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Amounts related to EID ECP and the EID Specialty Products Entities are consistently included or excluded from the Notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements based on the respective financial statement line item. See Note 3 - Divestitures and Other Transactions, for additional information.

Prior to the Corteva Distribution, the combined financial statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of EID as well as the carve-out financial statements of DAS. The DAS carve-out financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Historical Dow's Agricultural Sciences Business and include allocations of certain expenses for services from Historical Dow, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, ethics and compliance, shared services, employee benefits and incentives, insurance, and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated under the basis of headcount or other measures. Beginning in the second quarter 2019, the financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis.

The company's interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented consist of Corteva, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The company's Consolidated Statements of Operations (the "Consolidated Statements of Operations") for all periods prior to April 30, 2019 consist of the combined results of operations for Historical EID and DAS. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods after May 1, 2019 represent the consolidated balances of the company. Intercompany balances and transactions with Historical EID and DAS have been eliminated.

During the first quarter 2020, the company recorded an increase of $40 million to APIC relating to net assets recorded as transferred as part of the 2019 Internal Reorganizations that were retained. 

Goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles impairment testing

As a result of changes in the company's long-term projections driven largely by the impacts of the novel coronavirus pandemic ("COVID 19") on the mid-term forecasted cash flows of the business, including, but not limited to currency fluctuations, expectations of future planted area (as influenced by consumer demand, ethanol markets and government policies and regulations) and relative commodity prices, the company determined a triggering event had occurred during the second quarter of 2020 that required an interim impairment assessment for its seed and crop protection reporting units and its tradename indefinite lived intangible asset.

10

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Based on the impairment analysis performed over the company’s tradename indefinite lived intangible asset it was determined fair value approximates carrying value, and no impairment charge was necessary.  However, this intangible asset is at higher risk to have impairment charges in future periods, if significant assumptions were to deteriorate. Estimates based on the significant assumptions used to determine fair values may differ significantly from actual results and it is reasonably possible that changes to these estimates could occur. Changes in factors, circumstances and assumptions used in assessing potential impairments can have a significant impact on the existence, magnitude and timing of impairments, if any, as well as the time in which such impairments are recognized.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments (Topic 326): Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements, which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amortized cost basis of financial assets should be reduced by expected credit losses to present the net carrying value in the financial statements at the amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on past events, historical experience, current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. Additionally, credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses.

The company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2020. The primary impact of adoption related to the credit losses on accounts and notes receivable, which is applied using a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption, and prior periods are not restated. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 10 - Accounts and Notes Receivable - Net for additional information.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, which provides guidance on whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. Accordingly, this amendment added unit of account guidance in Topic 606 when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement, or a part of the arrangement, is within the scope of Topic 606. In addition, the amendment provides certain guidance on presenting the collaborative arrangement transaction together with Topic 606. ASU 2018-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. This ASU is to be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of Topic 606. The company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848), which provides companies with optional financial reporting alternatives to reduce the cost and complexity associated with the accounting for contracts and hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and will apply to future changes.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of September 30, 2020

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which was part of the FASB’s Simplification Initiative to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of U.S. GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced, while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. This ASU amends ASC 740, Income Taxes, by removing certain exceptions to the general principles, and clarifying and amending current guidance. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, however all amended guidance must be adopted in the same period and should be reflected as of the beginning of the annual period if initially adopted and applied during an interim period. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance and does not expect it will have a material impact on the company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

EID Specialty Products Impairment

As a result of the Merger and related acquisition method of accounting, Historical EID’s assets and liabilities were measured at fair value resulting in increases to the company’s goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value valuation increased the risk that any declines in financial projections, including changes to key assumptions, could have a material, negative impact on the fair value of the company’s reporting units and assets, and therefore could result in an impairment.

As a result of the Internal Reorganization, in the second quarter of 2019, EID assessed the recoverability of the goodwill within the electronics and communications, protection solutions, nutrition and health, transportation and advanced polymers, packaging and specialty plastics, industrial biosciences, and clean technologies reporting units, and the overall carrying value of the net assets in the disposal group that was distributed to DowDuPont on May 1, 2019. As a result of this analysis, the company determined that the fair value of certain reporting units related to the EID specialty products businesses were below carrying value resulting in pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charges totaling $1,102 million reflected in loss from discontinued operations after income taxes. Revised financial projections reflect unfavorable market conditions, driven by slowed demand in the biomaterials business unit, coupled with challenging conditions in U.S. bioethanol markets. These revised financial projections resulted in a reduction in the long-term forecasts of sales and profitability as compared to prior projections.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The company’s analyses above using discounted cash flow models (a form of the income approach) utilized Level 3 unobservable inputs. The company’s significant assumptions in these analyses include, but are not limited to, future cash flow projections, the weighted average cost of capital, the terminal growth rate, and the tax rate. The company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on current regulatory and economic climates, recent operating results, and planned business strategies. These estimates could be negatively affected by changes in federal, state, or local regulations or economic downturns. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from the company’s estimates. The company also used a form of the market approach (utilizes Level 3 unobservable inputs), which is derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services. As such, the company believes the current assumptions and estimates utilized are both reasonable and appropriate.

In addition, the company performed an impairment analysis related to the equity method investments held by the EID specialty products businesses, as of May 1, 2019. The company applied the net asset value method under the cost approach to determine the fair value of the equity method investments in the EID specialty products businesses. Based on updated projections, the company determined the fair value of an equity method investment was below the carrying value and had no expectation the fair value would recover in the short-term due to the current economic environment. As a result, management concluded the impairment was other-than-temporary and recorded an impairment charge of $63 million, reflected in loss from discontinued operations after income taxes. Additionally, this impairment is reflected within restructuring and asset related charges - net in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, within the table above.

The following table presents the depreciation, amortization of intangibles, and capital expenditures of the discontinued operations related to the EID Specialty Products Entities:

(In millions)	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Amortization of intangibles	$	267

NOTE 4 - REVENUE

Revenue Recognition

Products

Substantially all of Corteva's revenue is derived from product sales. Product sales consist of sales of Corteva's products to farmers, distributors, and manufacturers. Corteva considers purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply agreements, to be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short-term when the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of the performance obligations is equal to or less than one year. However, the company has some long-term contracts which can span multiple years.

Licenses of Intellectual Property

Corteva enters into licensing arrangements with customers under which it licenses its intellectual property. Revenue from the majority of intellectual property licenses is derived from sales-based royalties. Revenue for licensing agreements that contain sales-based royalties is recognized at the later of (i) when the subsequent sale occurs or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated is satisfied.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. At September 30, 2020, the company had remaining performance obligations related to material rights granted to customers for contract renewal options of $114 million ($108 million at both December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively). The company expects revenue to be recognized for the remaining performance obligations over the next 1 year to 6 years.

Contract Balances

Contract liabilities primarily reflect deferred revenue from prepayments under contracts with customers where the company receives advance payments for products to be delivered in future periods. Corteva classifies deferred revenue as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the company expects to recognize revenue. Contract assets primarily include amounts related to contractual rights to consideration for completed performance not yet invoiced. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional.

Execute to Win Productivity Program

During the first quarter of 2020, Corteva approved restructuring actions designed to improve productivity through optimizing certain operational and organizational structures primarily related to the Execute to Win Productivity Program. As a result of these actions, the company expects to record total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $185 million, comprised of approximately $125 million of asset related charges (of which $30 million relates to asset retirement obligations), and $60 million of severance and related benefit costs. Of the $185 million, approximately $110 million relates to crop protection, $15 million relates to seed, and $60 million relates to corporate expenses. Future cash payments related to this charge are anticipated to be approximately $85 million, primarily related to the payment of severance and related benefits and asset retirement obligations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The following table summarizes the impacts of the company's foreign currency hedging program on the company's results of operations. The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions. The hedging program gains (losses) are largely taxable (tax deductible) in the U.S., whereas the offsetting exchange gains (losses) on the remeasurement of the net monetary asset positions are often not taxable (tax deductible) in their local jurisdictions. The net pre-tax exchange gains (losses) are recorded in other income - net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for (benefit from) income taxes on continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

For periods between the Merger Effectiveness Time and the Corteva Distribution, Corteva and its subsidiaries were included in DowDuPont's consolidated federal income tax group and consolidated tax return.  Generally, the consolidated tax liability of the DowDuPont U.S. tax group for each year was apportioned among the members of the consolidated group based on each member’s separate taxable income.  Corteva, DuPont and Dow intend that to the extent Federal and/or State corporate income tax liabilities are reduced through the utilization of tax attributes of the other, settlement of any receivable and payable generated from the use of the other party’s sub-group attributes will be in accordance with a tax matters agreement. See Note 3 - Divestitures and Other Transactions, for further information related to indemnifications between Corteva, Dow and DuPont.

Each year the company files hundreds of tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the tax authorities. Positions challenged by the tax authorities may be settled or appealed by the company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the company's financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The ultimate resolution of such uncertainties is not expected to have a material impact on the company's results of operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company recognized a tax benefit of $51 million to provision for income taxes on continuing operations related to a return to accrual adjustment associated with an elective change in accounting method for the 2019 tax year impact of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 's (“The Act”) foreign tax provisions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the company recognized a tax benefit of $14 million to provision for income taxes on continuing operations related to a return to accrual adjustment to reflect a change in estimate on the impact of a tax law enactment in a foreign jurisdiction.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company recognized an aggregate net tax benefit of $38 million to benefit from income taxes on continuing operations related to the enactment of Switzerland’s Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (TRAF) (i.e., “Swiss Tax Reform”).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company recognized a net tax benefit of $13 million and a net tax charge of $83 million, respectively to (benefit from) provision for income taxes on continuing operations related to application of the Act's foreign tax provisions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company recognized net tax charge of $146 million and a tax benefit of $102 million to provision for income taxes on continuing operations related to U.S. state blended tax rate changes associated with the Internal Reorganizations and an internal legal entity restructuring associated with the Internal Reorganizations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company recognized an aggregate tax benefit of $21 million to provision for income taxes on continuing operations, respectively, associated with changes in accruals for certain prior year tax positions and reductions in the company's unrecognized tax benefits due to the closure of various tax statutes of limitations.

The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The objective of the program, which resides in the U.S., is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions, which can drive material impacts on the company's effective tax rate. For further discussion of pre-tax and after-tax impacts of the company's foreign currency hedging program and net monetary asset programs, refer to Note 7 - Supplementary Information.

1.Accounts receivable – trade and notes receivable - trade are net of allowances of $210 million at September 30, 2020, $174 million at December 31, 2019, and $170 million at September 30, 2019. The allowance at September 30, 2020 is equal to the expected credit losses and was developed using a loss-rate method. The allowance at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 is equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts and is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions, and review of the current status of customers' accounts.

2.Notes receivable – trade primarily consists of receivables for deferred payment loan programs for the sale of seed products to customers. These loans have terms of one year or less and are primarily concentrated in North America. The company maintains a rigid pre-approval process for extending credit to customers in order to manage overall risk and exposure associated with credit losses. As of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019 there were no significant impairments related to current loan agreements.

3.Other includes receivables in relation to indemnification assets, value added tax, general sales tax and other taxes. No individual group represents more than 10 percent of total receivables. In addition, Other includes amounts due from nonconsolidated affiliates of $92 million, $119 million, and $127 million as of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Accounts and notes receivable are carried at the expected amount to be collected, which approximates fair value. The company establishes the allowance for doubtful receivables using a loss-rate method where the loss rate is developed using past events, historical experience, current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets.

The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for doubtful receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

(In millions)
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	174
Additions charged to expenses	153
Write-offs charged against allowance	(6)
Recoveries collected	(99)
Other	(12)
Balance at September 30, 2020	$	210

The company enters into various factoring agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell its trade receivables under both recourse and non-recourse agreements in exchange for cash proceeds. These financing arrangements result in a transfer of the company's receivables and risks to the third-party. As these transfers qualify as true sales under the applicable accounting guidance, the receivables are derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon transfer, and the company receives a payment for the receivables from the third-party within a mutually agreed upon time period. For arrangements involving an element of recourse, which is typically provided through a guarantee of accounts in the event of customer default, the guarantee obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Trade receivables sold under these agreements were $44 million and $221 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $13 million and $97 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The trade receivables sold that remained outstanding under these agreements which include an element of recourse as of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019 were $178 million, $171 million, and $61 million, respectively. The net proceeds received are included in cash provided by operating activities in the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in other income - net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The loss on sale of receivables was $11 million and $49 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $4 million and $41 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The guarantee obligations recorded as of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019 in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were not material. See Note 14 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities for additional information on the company’s guarantees.

1.Beginning on October 1, 2019, the company changed its indefinite life assertion of the germplasm assets to definite lived with a useful life of 25 years.  This change is the result of a more focused development effort of new seed products coupled with an intent to out license select germplasm on a non-exclusive basis. Prior to changing the useful life of the germplasm assets, the company tested the assets for impairment under ASC 350 - Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, concluding the assets were not impaired.

2.Primarily consists of sales and farmer networks, marketing and manufacturing alliances and noncompetition agreements.

As discussed in Note 5 - Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, and in connection with strategic product and portfolio reviews, the company determined that the fair value of certain intangible assets classified as developed technology, other intangible assets and IPR&D within the Seed segment that primarily relate to heritage DAS intangibles previously acquired from Coodetec was less than the carrying value due to the company’s focus on advancing more competitive products and eliminating redundancy and complexity across the breeding programs.

For IPR&D and developed technology, the company concluded these projects were abandoned. For other intangible assets, the company performed an analysis of the fair value using the relief from royalty method (a form of the income approach) using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The key assumptions used in the calculation included projected revenue, royalty

rates and discount rates. These key assumptions involve management judgment and estimates relating to future operating performance and economic conditions that may differ from actual cash flows. As a result, the company recorded a pre-tax, non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $54 million ($41 million after-tax), which is reflected in restructuring and asset related charges - net, in the company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for definite-lived intangible assets was $162 million and $501 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $100 million and $314 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The current estimated aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for the remainder of 2020 and each of the next five years is approximately $160 million, $644 million, $623 million, $544 million, $530 million and $492 million, respectively.

NOTE 13 - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS, LONG-TERM DEBT AND AVAILABLE CREDIT FACILITIES

The following tables summarize Corteva's short-term borrowings and finance lease obligations and long-term debt:

The estimated fair value of the company's short-term borrowings, including interest rate financial instruments, was determined using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues, or on current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining maturities, the fair value of the company's short-term borrowings and finance lease obligations was approximately carrying value.

The weighted-average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019 was 0.9%, 6.7% and 2.6%, respectively. The change in the weighted-average interest rate was primarily due to lower Commercial Paper and Repurchase Facility interest.

Debt Offering

In May 2020, EID issued $500 million of 1.70 percent Senior Notes due 2025 and $500 million of 2.30 percent Senior Notes due 2030 (the May 2020 Debt Offering). The proceeds of this offering are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include discretionary contributions to the company’s U.S. principal pension plan and repayment of other indebtedness.

Repurchase Facility

In February 2020, the company entered into a new committed receivable repurchase facility of up to $1.3 billion (the "2020 Repurchase Facility") which expires in December 2020. Under the 2020 Repurchase Facility, Corteva may sell a portfolio of available and eligible outstanding customer notes receivables to participating institutions and simultaneously agree to repurchase at a future date. The 2020 Repurchase Facility is considered a secured borrowing with the customer notes receivable inclusive of those that are sold and repurchased, equal to 105 percent of the outstanding amounts borrowed utilized as collateral. Borrowings under the 2020 Repurchase Facility have an interest rate of LIBOR + 0.75 percent.

As of September 30, 2020, $1,234 million of notes receivable, recorded in accounts and notes receivable - net, were pledged as collateral against outstanding borrowings under the 2020 Repurchase Facility of $1,175 million, recorded in short-term borrowings and finance lease obligations on the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Revolving Credit Facilities

In November 2018, EID entered into a $3.0 billion 5-year revolving credit facility and a $3.0 billion 3-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facilities”). The Revolving Credit Facilities became effective May 2019. Corteva, Inc. became a party at the time of the Corteva Distribution. The Revolving Credit Facilities may serve as a substitute to the company's commercial paper program, and can be used, from time to time, for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the funding of seasonal working capital needs. The Revolving Credit Facilities contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are typical for companies with similar credit ratings. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Facilities contain a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization for Corteva and its consolidated subsidiaries not exceed 0.60.

In March 2020, the company drew down $500 million under the $3.0 billion 3-year revolving credit facility as a result of the volatility and increased borrowing costs of commercial paper resulting from the unstable market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and repaid that borrowing in full in June 2020. There were no additional borrowings and the unused commitments under the 3-year revolving credit facility were $3.0 billion as of September 30, 2020.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Guarantees

Indemnifications

In connection with acquisitions and divestitures as of September 30, 2020, the company has indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with these transactions and business activities prior to the completion of the transactions. The term of these indemnifications, which typically pertain to environmental, tax and product liabilities, is generally indefinite. In addition, the company indemnifies its duly elected or appointed directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, against liabilities incurred as a result of their activities for the company, such as adverse judgments relating to litigation matters. If the indemnified party were to incur a liability or have a liability increase as a result of a successful claim, pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, the company would be required to reimburse the indemnified party. The maximum amount of potential future payments is generally unlimited. See pages 12 and 28 for additional information relating to the indemnification obligations under the Chemours Separation Agreement and the Corteva Separation Agreement.

Obligations for Customers and Other Third Parties

The company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with third parties related to customers and other third parties. At September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the company had directly guaranteed $96 million, $97 million, and $80 million, respectively, of such obligations. These amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the company could be required to make under the guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed party. Of the total maximum future payments at September 30, 2020, less than $1 million had terms greater than a year. The maximum future payments include $20 million, $16 million, and $11 million of guarantees related to the various factoring agreements that the company enters into with third-party financial institutions to sell its trade receivables at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively. See Note 10 - Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net, for additional information.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The maximum future payments also include agreements with lenders to establish programs that provide financing for select customers. The terms of the guarantees are equivalent to the terms of the customer loans that are primarily made to finance customer invoices. The total amounts owed from customers to the lenders relating to these agreements was $637 million, $27 million and $596 million at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

The company assesses the payment/performance risk by assigning default rates based on the duration of the guarantees. These default rates are assigned based on the external credit rating of the counterparty or through internal credit analysis and historical default history for counterparties that do not have published credit ratings. For counterparties without an external rating or available credit history, a cumulative average default rate is used.

Litigation

The company is subject to various legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, product liability, intellectual property, antitrust, commercial, property damage, personal injury, environmental and regulatory matters arising out of the normal course of its current businesses or legacy EID businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses but allocated to Corteva as part of the separation of Corteva from DuPont. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various proceedings. Although considerable uncertainty exists, management does not anticipate that the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.  However, the ultimate liabilities could be material to results of operations and the cash flows in the period recognized.

Indemnifications under Separation Agreements

The company has entered into various agreements where the company is indemnified for certain liabilities. In connection with the recognition of liabilities related to these matters, the company records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. See Note 3 - Divestitures and Other Transactions, for additional information related to indemnifications.

Chemours/Performance Chemicals

On July 1, 2015, EID completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of all of the issued and outstanding stock of The Chemours Company (the "Chemours Separation"). In connection with the Chemours Separation, EID and The Chemours Company ("Chemours") entered into a Separation Agreement (the "Chemours Separation Agreement"). Pursuant to the Chemours Separation Agreement and the amendment to the Chemours Separation Agreement, Chemours indemnifies the company against certain litigation, environmental, workers' compensation and other liabilities that arose prior to the distribution. The term of this indemnification is generally indefinite and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments.

Concurrent with the MDL Settlement (as discussed below), EID and Chemours amended the Chemours Separation Agreement to provide for a limited sharing of potential future PFOA liabilities for five years, which began on July 6, 2017. During the five years, Chemours will annually pay the first $25 million of future PFOA liabilities and, if that amount is exceeded, EID will pay any excess amount up to the next $25 million, with Chemours annually bearing any excess liabilities above that amount. At the end of the five years, this limited sharing agreement will expire, and Chemours’ indemnification obligations under the Chemours Separation Agreement will continue unchanged. As part of this amendment, Chemours also agreed that it would not contest its liability for PFOA liabilities on the basis of certain ostensible defenses it had previously raised, including defenses relating to punitive damages, and would waive any such defenses with respect to PFOA liabilities.  Chemours has, however, retained defenses as to whether any particular PFOA claim is within the scope of the indemnification provisions of the Chemours Separation Agreement. There have been no charges incurred by the company under this amendment through September 30, 2020.

On May 13, 2019, Chemours filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery ("Chancery Court") against DuPont, Corteva, and EID alleging, among other things, that the litigation and environmental liabilities allocated to Chemours under the Chemours Separation Agreement were underestimated and asking that the Court either limit the amount of Chemours’ indemnification obligations or, alternatively, order the return of the $3.91 billion dividend Chemours paid to EID prior to its separation. On June 3, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the Chemours Separation Agreement requires arbitration of all disputes relating to that agreement. On March 30, 2020, the Chancery Court granted the motion to dismiss made by DuPont, Corteva, and EID. Chemours filed its appeal of the Chancery Court's decision and oral argument before the Delaware Supreme Court en Banc is scheduled for December 2, 2020. An arbitration of the indemnification matters is ongoing and proceeding in parallel with Chemours’ appeal of the Chancery Court decision. On October 13, 2020, the arbitration panel affirmed its jurisdiction to determine the arbitrability of the disputes and ruled that the disputes are arbitrable rejecting Chemours claims to the contrary. The arbitration is currently scheduled to begin June 2021. The company believes the probability of liability with respect to Chemours' suit continues to be remote. For additional information regarding environmental indemnification, see discussion on page 31.

27

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

At September 30, 2020, the indemnification assets pursuant to the Chemours Separation Agreement are $65 million within accounts and notes receivable - net and $274 million within other assets along with the corresponding liabilities of $65 million within accrued and other current liabilities and $274 million within other noncurrent obligations in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Corteva Separation Agreement

On April 1, 2019, in connection with the Dow Distribution, Corteva, DuPont and Dow entered into the Corteva Separation Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement, and certain other agreements (collectively, the “Corteva Separation Agreements”). The Corteva Separation Agreements allocate among Corteva, DuPont and Dow certain liabilities and obligations among the parties and provides for indemnification obligation among the parties. Under the Corteva Separation Agreements, DuPont will indemnify Corteva against certain litigation, environmental, workers' compensation and other liabilities that arose prior to the Corteva Distribution and (ii) Dow indemnifies Corteva against certain litigation and other liabilities that relate to the Historical Dow business, but were transferred over as part of DAS, and Corteva indemnifies DuPont and Dow for certain liabilities. The term of this indemnification is generally indefinite with exceptions, and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. See Note 3 - Divestitures and Other Transactions, for additional information relating to the Separation.

DuPont

Under the Corteva Separation Agreement, certain legacy EID liabilities from discontinued and/or divested operations and businesses of EID (including Performance Chemicals) (a “stray liability”) were allocated to Corteva or DuPont. For those stray liabilities allocated to Corteva (which may include a specified amount of liability associated with that liability), Corteva is responsible for liabilities in an amount up to that specified amount plus an additional $200 million and, for those stray liabilities allocated to DuPont (which may include a specified amount of liability associated with that liability), DuPont is responsible for liabilities up to a specified amount plus an additional $200 million. Once each company has met the $200 million threshold, Corteva and DuPont will share future liabilities proportionally on the basis of 29% and 71%, respectively; provided, however, that for PFAS, DuPont will manage such liabilities with Corteva and DuPont sharing the costs on a 50% - 50% basis starting from $1 and up to $300 million (with such amount, up to $150 million, to be credited to each company’s $200 million threshold) and once the $300 million threshold is met, then the companies will share proportionally on the basis of 29% and 71% respectively, subject to a $1 million de minimis requirement.

Litigation related to legacy EID businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses

While it is reasonably possible that the company could incur liabilities related to the litigation related to legacy EID businesses, unrelated to Corteva's current business, as described below, any such liabilities are not expected to be material.

PFAS, PFOA, PFOS and Other Related Liabilities

For purposes of this report, the term PFOA means collectively perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts, including the ammonium salt and does not distinguish between the two forms, and PFAS, which means per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, including PFOA, PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid), GenX and other perfluorinated chemicals and compounds ("PFCs").

EID is a party to various legal proceedings relating to the use of PFOA by its former Performance Chemicals segment. While it is reasonably possible that EID could incur liabilities related to PFOA in excess of amounts accrued, any such liabilities are not expected to be material. As discussed, EID is indemnified by Chemours under the Chemours Separation Agreement, as amended. The company has recorded a liability of $21 million and an indemnification asset of $21 million at September 30, 2020, related to testing drinking water in and around certain former EID sites and offering treatment or an alternative supply of drinking water if tests indicate the presence of PFOA in drinking water at or greater than the national health advisory level established from time to time by the EPA.

Leach Settlement and MDL Settlement

EID has residual liabilities under its 2004 settlement of a West Virginia state court class action, Leach v. EID, which alleged that PFOA from EID’s former Washington Works facility had contaminated area drinking water supplies and affected the health of area residents. The settlement class has about 80,000 members. In addition to relief that was provided to class members years ago, the settlement requires EID to continue providing PFOA water treatment to six area water districts and private well users and to fund, through an escrow account, up to $235 million for a medical monitoring program for eligible class members. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $2 million had been disbursed from the account since its establishment in 2012 and the remaining balance is approximately $1 million.

28

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The Leach settlement permits class members to pursue personal injury claims for six health conditions (and no others) that an expert panel appointed under the settlement reported in 2012 had a “probable link” (as defined in the settlement) with PFOA: pregnancy-induced hypertension, including preeclampsia; kidney cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid disease; ulcerative colitis; and diagnosed high cholesterol. After the panel reported its findings, approximately 3,550 personal injury lawsuits were filed in federal and state courts in Ohio and West Virginia and consolidated in multi-district litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (“MDL”). The MDL was settled in early 2017 for $670.7 million in cash, with Chemours and EID (without indemnification from Chemours) each paying half.

Post-MDL Settlement PFOA Personal Injury Claims

The MDL settlement did not resolve claims of plaintiffs who did not have claims in the MDL or whose claims are based on diseases first diagnosed after February 11, 2017. At September 30, 2020, approximately 58 lawsuits were pending, and another 33 threatened, alleging personal injury, mostly kidney or testicular cancer, from exposure to PFOA through air or water, with nearly all part of the MDL or were not filed on behalf of Leach class members. The first two trials concluded in February 2020. The first trial, a kidney cancer case, resulted in a hung jury, while the second, a testicular cancer case, resulted in a jury verdict of $40 million in compensatory damages and $10 million for loss of consortium. Following entry of the judgment by the court, EID intends to file post-trial motions to reduce the verdict, and to appeal the verdict on the basis of procedural and substantive legal errors made by the trial court. EID believes the merits of the appeal will be successful in reducing the jury verdict or eliminating its liability, in whole or part. Six additional cases are expected to begin trials in 2021.

Other PFOA Matters

EID is a party to other PFOA lawsuits that do not involve claims for personal injury. Chemours, pursuant to the Chemours Separation Agreement, is generally defending and indemnifying, with reservation, EID but Chemours has refused the tender of Corteva, Inc.'s defense in the limited actions in which Corteva, Inc. has been named. Chemours has refused to indemnify Corteva, Inc. and EID against any fraudulent conveyance claims associated with these matters. Corteva believes that Chemours is obligated to indemnify Corteva, Inc. under the Chemours Separation Agreement.

New York. EID is a defendant in about 50 lawsuits, including a putative class action, brought by persons who live in and around Hoosick Falls, New York. These lawsuits assert claims for medical monitoring and property damage based on alleged PFOA releases from manufacturing facilities owned and operated by co-defendants in Hoosick Falls and allege that EID and 3M supplied some of the materials used at these facilities. EID is also one of more than ten defendants in a lawsuit brought by the Town of East Hampton, New York alleging PFOA and PFOS contamination of the town’s well water. Additionally, EID, along with 3M, Chemours and Dyneon, have been named defendants in complaints filed by eight water districts in Nassau County, New York alleging that the drinking water they provide to customers is contaminated with PFAS and seeking reimbursement for clean-up costs. The water district complaints also include allegations of fraudulent transfer.

New Jersey. At September 30, 2020, two lawsuits were pending, one brought by a local water utility and the second a putative class action, against EID alleging that PFOA from EID’s former Chambers Works facility contaminated drinking water sources. The putative class action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice by the plaintiff.

In late March of 2019, the New Jersey State Attorney General filed four lawsuits against EID, Chemours, 3M and others alleging that operations at and discharges from former EID sites in New Jersey (Chambers Works, Pompton Lakes, Parlin and Repauno) damaged the State’s natural resources. Two of these lawsuits (those involving the Chambers Works and Parlin sites) allege contamination from PFAS. The Ridgewood Water District in New Jersey filed suit in the first quarter 2019 against EID, 3M, Chemours, and Dyneon alleging losses related to the investigation, remediation and monitoring of polyfluorinated surfactants, including PFOA, in water supplies. DuPont and Corteva were subsequently added as defendants to these lawsuits.

Alabama / Others. EID is one of more than thirty defendants in a lawsuit by the Alabama water utility alleging contamination from PFCs, including PFOA, used by co-defendant carpet manufacturers to make their products more stain and grease resistant. In addition, the states of Michigan, New Hampshire, South Dakota, and Vermont recently filed lawsuits against EID, Chemours, 3M and others, claiming, among other things, PFC (including PFOA) contamination of groundwater and drinking water. The complaints seek reimbursement for past and future costs to investigate and remediate the alleged contamination and compensation for the loss of value and use of the state’s natural resources.

29

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Ohio. EID is a defendant in three lawsuits: an action by the State of Ohio based on alleged damage to natural resources, a putative nationwide class action brought on behalf of anyone who has detectable levels of PFAS in their blood serum, and an action by the City of Dayton claiming losses related to the investigation, remediation and monitoring of PFAS in water supplies.

Aqueous Firefighting Foams. Approximately 690 cases have been filed against 3M and other defendants, including EID and Chemours, and more recently also including Corteva and DuPont, alleging PFOS or PFOA contamination of soil and groundwater from the use of aqueous firefighting foams. Most of those cases claim some form of property damage and seek to recover the costs of responding to this contamination and damages for the loss of use and enjoyment of property and diminution in value. Most of these cases have been transferred to a multidistrict litigation proceeding in federal district court in South Carolina. Approximately 630 of these cases were filed on behalf of firefighters who allege personal injuries (primarily, thyroid disease and kidney, testicular and other cancers) as a result of aqueous firefighting foams. Most of these recent cases assert claims that the EID and Chemours separation constituted a fraudulent conveyance. While Chemours is defending EID for all claims except those for fraudulent conveyance, it has declined defense and indemnity to Corteva on all claims.

EID did not make firefighting foams, PFOS, or PFOS products. While EID made surfactants and intermediaries that some manufacturers used in making foams, which may have contained PFOA as an unintended byproduct or an impurity, EID’s products were not formulated with PFOA, nor was PFOA an ingredient of these products. EID has never made or sold PFOA as a commercial product.

Fayetteville Works Facility, North Carolina

Prior to the separation of Chemours, EID introduced GenX as a polymerization processing aid and a replacement for PFOA at the Fayetteville Works facility in Bladen County, North Carolina. The facility is now owned and operated by Chemours, which continues to manufacture and use GenX.

At September 30, 2020, several actions are pending in federal court against Chemours and EID relating to PFC discharges from the Fayetteville Works facility. One of these is a consolidated putative class action that asserts claims for medical monitoring and property damage on behalf of putative classes of property owners and residents in areas near or who draw drinking water from the Cape Fear River. Another action is a consolidated action brought by various North Carolina water authorities, including the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority and Brunswick County, that seek actual and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief. In another action over 200 property owners near the Fayetteville Works facility filed a complaint against Chemours and EID in May 2020. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages for their claims of private nuisance, trespass, and negligence allegedly caused by release of PFAS.

In addition to the federal court actions, there is an action on behalf of about 100 plaintiffs who own wells and property near the Fayetteville Works facility. The plaintiffs seek damages for nuisance allegedly caused by releases of certain PFCs from the site. The plaintiffs’ claims for medical monitoring, punitive damages, public nuisance, trespass, unjust enrichment, failure to warn, and negligent manufacture have all been dismissed.

The company has an indemnification claim against Chemours with respect to current and future inquiries and claims, including lawsuits, related to the foregoing. At September 30, 2020, Chemours, with reservations, is defending and indemnifying EID in the pending civil actions.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Environmental

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 September 30, 2020, the company had accrued obligations of $342 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs, including $52 million for the remediation of Superfund sites. These obligations are included in accrued and other current liabilities and other noncurrent obligations in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. This is management’s best estimate of the costs for remediation and restoration with respect to environmental matters for which the company has accrued liabilities, although it is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost with respect to these particular matters could range up to $610 million above the amount accrued at September 30, 2020. Consequently, it is reasonably possible that environmental remediation and restoration costs in excess of amounts accrued could have a material impact on the company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Inherent uncertainties exist in these estimates primarily due to unknown conditions, changing governmental regulations and legal standards regarding liability, and emerging remediation technologies for handling site remediation and restoration.

For a discussion of the allocation of environmental liabilities under the Chemours Separation Agreement and the Corteva Separation Agreement, see the previous discussion on page 28.

The above noted $342 million accrued obligations includes the following:

	As of September 30, 2020

NOTE 15 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock

On June 1, 2019, Corteva, Inc.'s common stock was distributed to DowDuPont stockholders by way of a pro rata distribution. Each DowDuPont stockholder received one share of Corteva, Inc. common stock for every three shares of DowDuPont common stock held at the close of business on May 24, 2019, the record date of distribution. Corteva, Inc.'s common stock began trading the "regular way" under the ticker symbol "CTVA" on June 3, 2019, the first business day after June 1, 2019. The number of Corteva, Inc. common shares issued on June 1, 2019 was 748,815,000 (par value of $0.01 per share). Information related to the Corteva Distribution and its effect on the company's financial statements are discussed throughout these Notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of common stock share activity:

Shares of common stock	Issued
Balance January 1, 2020	748,577,000
Issued	1,940,000
Repurchased and retired	(3,025,000)
Balance September 30, 2020	747,492,000

Share Buyback Plan

On June 26, 2019, Corteva, Inc. announced that the Board of Directors of Corteva, Inc. authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program to purchase Corteva, Inc.'s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, without an expiration date. The timing, price and volume of purchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the company purchased and retired 1,160,000 shares in the open market for a total cost of $33 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company purchased and retired 3,025,000 shares in the open market for a total cost of $83 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the company purchased and retired 824,000 shares in the open market for a total cost of $25 million.

Shares repurchased pursuant to Corteva's share buyback plan are immediately retired upon purchase. Repurchased common stock is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The company's accounting policy related to its share repurchases is to reduce its common stock based on the par value of the shares and to reduce its retained earnings for the excess of the repurchase price over the par value. When Corteva has an accumulated deficit balance, the excess over the par value is applied to additional paid-in capital. When Corteva has retained earnings, the excess is charged entirely to retained earnings.

Noncontrolling Interest

In June 2020, the company completed the acquisition of the remaining 46.5 percent interest in the Phytogen Seed Company, LLC joint venture from J. G. Boswell Company. As the purchase of the remaining interest did not result in a change of control, the difference between the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest and the consideration paid, net of taxes was recorded within equity.

Corteva, Inc. owns 100% of the outstanding common shares of EID. However, EID has preferred stock outstanding to third parties which is accounted for as a non-controlling interest in Corteva's interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Each share of EID Preferred Stock - $4.50 Series and EID Preferred Stock - $3.50 Series issued and outstanding at the effective date of the Corteva Distribution remains issued and outstanding as to EID and was unaffected by the Corteva Distribution.

Below is a summary of the EID Preferred Stock at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019, which is classified as noncontrolling interests in Corteva's interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 16 - PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

In connection with the Corteva Distribution, the company retained the benefit obligations relating to EID's principal U.S. pension plan, several other U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans and other post employment benefit plans ("OPEB"). Corteva entered into an employee matters agreement with DuPont which provides that employees of DuPont no longer participate in the benefits sponsored or maintained by the company as of the date of the Corteva Distribution and transferred certain EID's pension and OPEB obligations and associated assets to DuPont. As a result of the transfer, about $5.8 billion unfunded obligations of the pension and OPEB plans remained with Corteva, of which $319 million was supported by funding under the Trust agreement.

As a result of the Corteva Distribution, the company re-measured OPEB plans as of June 1, 2019. In connection with the re-measurement, the company updated the discount rate assumed at December 31, 2018 from 4.23% to 3.64%. The re-measurement resulted in an increase of $114 million to the company’s OPEB benefit obligations with a corresponding loss effect within other comprehensive income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The following sets forth the components of the company's net periodic benefit (credit) cost for defined benefit pension plans and other post employment benefits:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 17 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At September 30, 2020, the company had $1,986 million ($1,293 million and $1,568 million at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively) of held-to-maturity securities (primarily time deposits and money market funds) classified as cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents, as these securities had maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase; and $152 million ($5 million and $117 million at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively) of held-to-maturity securities (primarily time deposits) classified as marketable securities as these securities had maturities of more than three months to less than one year at the time of purchase. The company’s investments in held-to-maturity securities are held at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These securities are included in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other current assets in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 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 has not designated any non-derivatives as hedging instruments.

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 major commodity exchanges, and multinational grain exporters. 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:

Notional Amounts (In millions)	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign currency contracts	$	770	$	—	$	—
Commodity contracts	$	51	$	570	$	73
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign currency contracts	$	924	$	582	$	1,313

Foreign Currency Risk

The company's objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign currency rate changes and to mitigate the exposure of certain investments in foreign subsidiaries against changes in the Euro/USD exchange rate. Accordingly, the company enters into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of its existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, commitments, investments and cash flows.

The company uses foreign exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The primary business objective of this hedging program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes, after related tax effects, are minimized. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company’s exposure to certain forecasted transactions as well as the translation of foreign currency-denominated earnings. The company also uses commodity contracts to offset risks associated with foreign currency devaluation in certain countries.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk management programs serve to reduce exposure to price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as corn and soybeans. The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments to hedge the commodity price risk associated with agricultural commodity exposures.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

Commodity Contracts

The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments, including options, futures and swaps, to hedge the commodity price risk associated with agriculture commodity exposures.

While each risk management program has a different time maturity period, most programs currently do not extend beyond the next two years. Cash flow hedge results are reclassified into earnings during the same period in which the related exposure impacts earnings. Reclassifications are made sooner if it appears that a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring.

The following table summarizes the after-tax effect of commodity contract cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2020		2019		2020		2019

Clearance of hedge results to earnings	(2)		1		24		12
Ending balance	$	(8)	$	(3)	$	(8)	$	(3)

At September 30, 2020, an after-tax net loss of $9 million is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings over the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The company enters into forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with forecasted transactions within certain foreign subsidiaries.

While each risk management program has a different time maturity period, most programs currently do not extend beyond the next two years. Cash flow hedge results are reclassified into earnings during the same period in which the related exposure impacts earnings. Reclassifications are made sooner if it appears that a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring.

The following table summarizes the after-tax effect of foreign currency cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,

Beginning balance	$	19	$	—
Additions and revaluations of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges	4		23
Clearance of hedge results to earnings	(17)		(17)
Ending balance	$	6	$	6

At September 30, 2020, an after-tax net gain of $6 million is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings over the next twelve months.

Derivatives Designated as Net Investment Hedges

Foreign Currency Contracts

The company has designated €450 million of forward contracts to exchange EUR as net investment hedges. The purpose of these forward contracts is to mitigate FX exposure related to a portion of the company’s Euro net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries against changes in Euro/USD exchange rates. These hedges will expire and be settled in 2023, unless terminated early at the discretion of the company.

The company elected to apply the spot method in testing for effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

37

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Foreign Currency Contracts

The company uses foreign 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 the translation of certain foreign currency-denominated earnings so that gains and losses on the contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated earnings over the relevant aggregate period.

Commodity Contracts

The company utilizes options, futures and swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as corn and soybeans. The company uses forward agreements, with durations less than one year, to buy and sell USD priced commodities in order to reduce its exposure to currency devaluation for a portion of its local currency cash balances. Counterparties to the forward sales agreements are multinational grain exporters and subject to the company’s financial risk management procedures.

NOTE 19 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment operating EBITDA is the primary measure of segment profitability used by Corteva’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The company defines segment operating EBITDA as earnings (i.e., income from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, corporate expenses, non-operating (benefits) costs - net and foreign exchange gains (losses), net, excluding the impact of significant items. Non-operating (benefits) costs - net consists of non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) costs, tax indemnification adjustments and environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy EID businesses and sites. Tax indemnification adjustments relate to changes in indemnification balances, as a result of the application of the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, between Corteva and Dow and/or DuPont that are recorded by the company as pre-tax income or expense. For purposes of the nine months ended September 30, 2019, segment operating EBITDA is calculated on a pro forma basis, as this is the manner in which the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources.

Pro forma adjustments used in the calculation of pro forma segment operating EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were determined in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. These adjustments give effect to the Merger, the debt retirement transactions related to paying off or retiring portions of EID’s existing debt liabilities (refer to the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further information), and the separation and distribution to DowDuPont stockholders of all the outstanding shares of Corteva common stock as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2016.

Item 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statements About Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain estimates and forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” "outlook," or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about Corteva’s strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approval, market position, anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions, timing of anticipated benefits from restructuring actions, outcome of contingencies, such as litigation and environmental matters, expenditures, and financial results, as well as expected benefits from, the separation of Corteva from DuPont, are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements and other estimates are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be accurate or realized. Forward-looking statements and other estimates also involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Corteva’s control. While the list of factors presented below is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Corteva’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Some of the important factors that could cause Corteva’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements include: (i) failure to successfully develop and commercialize Corteva’s pipeline; (ii) effect of competition and consolidation in Corteva’s industry; (iii) failure to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals for some Corteva’s products; (iv) failure to enforce Corteva’s intellectual property rights or defend against intellectual property claims asserted by others; (v) effect of competition from manufacturers of generic products; (vi) impact of Corteva’s dependence on third parties with respect to certain of its raw materials or licenses and commercialization; (vii) costs of complying with evolving regulatory requirements and the effect of actual or alleged violations of environmental laws or permit requirements; (viii) effect of the degree of public understanding and acceptance or perceived public acceptance of Corteva’s biotechnology and other agricultural products; (ix) effect of changes in agricultural and related policies of governments and international organizations; (x) effect of industrial espionage and other disruptions to Corteva’s supply chain, information technology or network systems; (xi) competitor’s establishment of an intermediary platform for distribution of Corteva's products; (xii) effect of volatility in Corteva’s input costs; (xiii) failure to raise capital through the capital markets or short-term borrowings on terms acceptable to Corteva; (xiv) failure of Corteva’s customers to pay their debts to Corteva, including customer financing programs; (xv) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the internal reorganizations taken by DowDuPont in connection with the spin-off of Corteva, including failure to benefit from significant cost synergies; (xvi) risks related to the indemnification obligations of legacy EID liabilities in connection with the separation of Corteva; (xvii) increases in pension and other post-employment benefit plan funding obligations; (xviii) effect of compliance with laws and requirements and adverse judgments on litigation; (xix) risks related to Corteva’s global operations; (xx) effect of climate change and unpredictable seasonal and weather factors; (xxi) effect of counterfeit products; (xxii) failure to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, alliances and other portfolio actions; (xxiii) risks related to non-cash charges from impairment of goodwill or intangible assets; (xxiv) risks related to COVID-19; (xxv) risks related to oil and commodity markets; and (xxvi) other risks related to the Separation from DowDuPont.

Additionally, there may be other risks and uncertainties that Corteva is unable to currently identify or that Corteva does not currently expect to have a material impact on its business. Where, in any forward-looking statement or other estimate, 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 Corteva’s 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. Corteva disclaims and does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law. A detailed discussion of some of the significant risks and uncertainties which may cause results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section titled “Risk Factors” (Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q).

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) a pandemic.  Since the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, Corteva has taken steps to help protect the health and safety of its employees, customers, vendors, and stakeholders. Corteva has engaged crisis management teams at the country, regional and global level, and its Integrated Health Services Pandemic & Infectious Disease Planning Team has been monitoring the situation and developing guidelines and protocols that have been communicated to all of its employees globally.

Overwhelmingly, countries and U.S. states have considered agriculture an “essential business”; therefore, Corteva is not subject to many of the restrictions imposed by the government, particularly on non-essential businesses, which, in certain cases, includes ordering businesses to close or limit operations or people to stay at home. While the company's business has experienced some localized operating disruptions, particularly around sourcing and logistics, these disruptions have been temporary and have not materially impacted the company's financial results. Additionally, the company has implemented mitigating strategies to limit the impact of supply chain disruptions, including leveraging the company’s ability to use a multi-sourcing strategy and source key raw materials from multiple suppliers and countries. Furthermore, the company implemented remote work arrangements for non-essential employees and restricted business travel effective mid-March, and to date, these arrangements have not materially affected the company's ability to maintain its business operations, including the operation of financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures.

The global health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the related government actions and stay at home orders have negatively impacted economic activity and increased political instability across the globe. The company has observed declining demand and price reductions in the oil and gas sector as business and consumer activity decelerates across the globe, which has impacted the price of corn. When COVID-19 is demonstrably contained, the company anticipates a rebound in economic activity, depending on the rate, pace, and effectiveness of the containment efforts deployed by various national, state, and local governments. Corteva will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions altering its business operations that it determines are in the best interests of its stakeholders, or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on the company's business, including the effects on its customers, employees, and prospects, or on its financial results for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and beyond. With the increasing uncertainty in global markets, the company will continue to monitor various factors that could impact mid-term forecasted cash flows of the business, including, but not limited to currency fluctuations, expectations of future planted area (as influenced by consumer demand, ethanol markets and government policies and regulations) and relative commodity prices. For further discussion on the estimated impact of COVID-19 on our long-term projections and recoverability of certain assets, refer to management’s discussion of Critical Accounting estimates on page 66.

Execute to Win Productivity Program

During the first quarter of 2020, Corteva approved restructuring actions designed to improve productivity through optimizing certain operational and organizational structures primarily related to the Execute to Win Productivity Program. As a result of these actions, the company expects to record total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $185 million, comprised of approximately $125 million of asset related charges (of which $30 million relates to asset retirement obligations), and $60 million of severance and related benefit costs. The restructuring actions associated with this charge are expected to be substantially complete in 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company recorded pre-tax charges of $134 million, recognized in restructuring and asset related charges - net in the company's interim Consolidated Statement of Operations comprised of $88 million of asset related charges and $46 million of severance and related benefit costs.

Future cash payments related to this charge are anticipated to be approximately $85 million, primarily related to the payment of severance and related benefits and asset retirement obligations. The company expects $130 million of savings to be achieved on a run rate basis by 2023.

Share Buyback Plan

On June 26, 2019, Corteva, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program to purchase Corteva, Inc.'s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, without an expiration date. The company expects to complete the share repurchase program by the end of 2021, six months ahead of the initial timeline. The timing, price and volume of purchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the company purchased and retired 1,160,000 shares in the open market for a total cost of $33 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company purchased and retired 3,025,000 shares for a total cost of $83 million.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales were $1,863 million and $1,911 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Volumes increased 7 percent versus the prior-year period. Gains were driven primarily by continued adoption of new crop protection products, and were partially offset by the impact of seasonally lower seed volumes due to a more normalized planting season in North America as compared to the prior-year period. Local price increased 2 percent versus third quarter 2019. Higher prices in Latin America were more than offset by the impact of currency, which represented a headwind of 11 percent globally. Currency mitigation and new products drove price gains in Latin America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific.

Cost of Goods Sold

COGS was $1,297 million and $1,349 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by currency benefits, ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts, and the lack of amortization of inventory step-up for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $15 million recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2019. These decreases were partially offset by increased volumes.

COGS as a percentage of net sales was 70 percent and 71 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The amortization of inventory step-up was 1 percent of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

COGS was $6,395 million and $6,607 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by the lack of amortization of inventory step-up for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $272 million recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, currency benefits, and ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts. The decrease was partially offset by increased volumes, higher royalties in seed, and higher input costs due to lower production yields in seed.

COGS as a percentage of net sales was 58 percent and 61 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The amortization of inventory step-up was 3 percent of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Research and Development Expense

R&D expense was $284 million (15 percent of net sales) and $289 million (15 percent of net sales) for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by currency benefits and ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts, partially offset by increased investments to support new products in crop protection.

R&D expense was $837 million (8 percent of net sales) and $857 million (8 percent of net sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by currency benefits and ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts, partially offset by increased investments to support new products in crop protection.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses were $597 million (32 percent of net sales) and $646 million (34 percent of net sales) for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by currency benefits, ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts, lower commissions on seasonal volume shifts in corn and soybean sales, and lower selling expenses.

SG&A expenses were $2,319 million (21 percent of net sales) and $2,318 million (21 percent of net sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. SG&A expenses were relatively flat as higher commissions and selling expenses due to higher volumes, higher ERP costs and higher product launch costs, were offset by currency benefits and ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts, and the settlement of a legal matter in the prior year.

51

Amortization of Intangibles

Intangible asset amortization was $162 million and $100 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $501 million and $314 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by amortization of germplasm assets, which changed from an indefinite lived intangible asset to definite lived with a useful life of 25 years in the fourth quarter of 2019. See Note 12 - Other Intangible Assets, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net

Restructuring and asset related charges - net were $49 million and $46 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The charges in the third quarter of 2020 related to non-cash accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense related to Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits and asset related charges under both the Execute to Win Productivity Program and the DowDuPont Cost Synergy Program (the "Synergy Program").

The charges in the third quarter of 2019 related to a pre-tax, non-cash intangible asset impairment charge, primarily related to DAS intangibles previously acquired from Cooperativa Central de Pesquisa Agrícola's ("Coodetec"), partially offset by a favorable adjustment to asset related charges associated with the Synergy Program.

Restructuring and asset related charges - net were $298 million and $167 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily related to non-cash accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense related to Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits and asset related charges and severance and related benefit costs under the Execute to Win Productivity Program. The charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily related to contract termination and asset related charges associated with the Synergy Program and the above noted pre-tax, non-cash intangible asset impairment charge.

See Note 5 - Restructuring and Asset Related Charges, Net, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Integration and Separation Costs

Integration and separation costs were $152 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and $694 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These costs primarily consisted of financial advisory, information technology, legal, accounting, consulting, and other professional advisory fees associated with the preparation and execution of activities related to the Distributions and the integration of EID’s Pioneer and Crop Protection businesses with DAS.

Other Income - Net

Other income - net was $30 million and $59 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change was primarily due to an increase in non-operating pension and other employment benefit credits and tax indemnification adjustments reflected in the three months ended September 30, 2019, which was partially offset by an increase in net exchange loss during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Other income - net was $120 million and $90 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change was primarily due to an increase in non-operating pension and other employment benefit credits, partially offset by higher net exchange losses, as well as higher losses on asset sales, including a $53 million loss related to the expected sale of the La Porte site in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to a $24 million loss related to DAS’s sale of a joint venture related to synergy actions in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes. The net pre-tax exchange gains and losses are recorded in other income - net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for (benefit from) income taxes on continuing operations in the interim Consolidated Statement of Operations.

See Note 7 - Supplementary Information, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

52

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $11 million and $19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change was primarily driven by lower average interest rates.

Interest expense was $35 million and $112 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change was primarily driven by lower average debt balances as a result of the redemption/repayment transactions in the second quarter of 2019 related to paying off or retiring portions of EID’s existing debt liabilities (refer to the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further information) and lower average interest rates.

Benefit from Income Taxes on Continuing Operations

The company’s benefit from income taxes on continuing operations was $(117) million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $(507) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.1 percent.  The effective tax rate was favorably impacted by geographic mix of earnings, the tax impact of certain net exchange gains recognized on the re-measurement of the net monetary asset positions which were not taxable in their local jurisdictions, as well as the tax impact of restructuring and asset related charges.

The company’s benefit from income taxes on continuing operations was $(104) million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $(631) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.5 percent. The effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by integration and separation costs, the Argentine peso devaluation, the tax impact of certain net exchange losses recognized on the re-measurement of the net monetary asset positions which were not deductible in their local jurisdictions, as well as geographic mix of earnings. Those unfavorable impacts were partially offset by tax benefits associated with the enactment of the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (“Swiss Tax Reform”), as well as a tax benefit of $13 million related to application of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("The Act") foreign tax provisions.

The company’s provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $745 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 11.8 percent.  The effective tax rate was favorably impacted by geographic mix of earnings, as well as $26 million of net tax benefits associated with changes in accruals for certain prior year tax positions in various jurisdictions, including a tax benefit of $14 million related to a return to accrual adjustment to reflect a change in estimate on the impact of a tax law enactment in a foreign jurisdiction. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company recognized a tax benefit of $51 million to provision for income taxes on continuing operations related to a return to accrual adjustment associated with an elective change in accounting method for the 2019 tax year impact of The Act's foreign tax provisions. The effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by the tax impact of certain net exchange losses recognized on the re-measurement of the net monetary asset positions which were not tax-deductible in their local jurisdictions, as well as tax charges related to the issuance of stock-based compensation.

The company’s provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $(129) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (76.7) percent. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company recorded net tax charges of $146 million related to the U.S. state blended tax rate changes associated with the Business Separations, as well as a tax charge of $83 million related to application of The Act’s foreign tax provisions. Other net unfavorable effective tax rate impacts included those related to integration and separation costs, non-tax-deductible amortization of the fair value step-up in inventories as a result of the Merger, as well as the tax impact of certain net exchange losses recognized on the re-measurement of the net monetary asset positions which were not deductible in their local jurisdictions. Those unfavorable impacts were partially offset by a first quarter tax benefit of $102 million related to an internal legal entity restructuring associated with the Business Separations, a $21 million benefit associated with changes in accruals for certain prior year tax positions and reductions in the company’s unrecognized tax benefits due to the closure of various tax statutes of limitations, as well as geographic mix of earnings.

(Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations After Tax

Income (loss) from discontinued operations after tax was $22 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and $1 million and $(695) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily reflects the operations of EID ECP and the EID Specialty Product Entities.  Refer to Note 3 - Divestitures and Other Transactions, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

EID Analysis of Operations

As discussed in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation, to the EID Consolidated Financial Statements, EID is a subsidiary of Corteva, Inc. and continues to be a reporting company, subject to the requirements of the Exchange Act. The below relates to EID only and is presented to provide an Analysis of Operations, only for the differences between EID and Corteva, Inc.

53

Interest Expense

EID’s interest expense was $30 million and $58 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $117 million and $181 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change for the three month period was driven by the items noted on page 53, under the header “Interest Expense”, and the reduction in interest expense incurred on the related party loan between EID and Corteva, Inc. The change for the nine month period was driven by the items noted on page 53, under the header "Interest Expense", partially offset by an increase in interest expense incurred on the related party loan between EID and Corteva, Inc. See Note 2 - Related Party Transactions, to the EID Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Provision for Income Taxes on Continuing Operations

EID’s benefit from income taxes on continuing operations was $(122) for three months ended September 30, 2020 on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $(526), resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.2 percent. EID’s benefit from income taxes on continuing operations was $(113) million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $(670) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.9 percent.

EID’s provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $68 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $663 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 10.3 percent percent. EID’s provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $83 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $(198) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (41.9) percent.

EID’s changes in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 2019 were driven by the items noted on page 53, under the header “Benefit from Income Taxes on Continuing Operations” and a tax benefit related to the interest expense incurred on the related party loan between EID and Corteva, Inc. See Note 2 - Related Party Transactions, to the EID Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Corporate Outlook

The company continues to monitor near-term operating conditions to ensure business continuity in light of continued market volatility. The company expects an approximate 1 to 2 percent increase in net sales for the full year 2020 as compared to 2019, driven by expected price and volume gains mostly offset by unfavorable currency impacts.

The company expects full year 2020 Operating EBITDA in the range of down (4) percent to an increase of 1 percent versus 2019 and Operating Earnings Per Share in the range of down (13) percent to an increase of 1 percent versus 2019, driven by the above noted unfavorable currency impacts, partially offset by higher volumes and ongoing cost synergies and productivity.

The above outlook does not contemplate any operational disruptions, significant changes in customers' demand or ability to pay, or further acceleration of currency impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Corteva is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty items outside of the company’s control, such as Significant Items, without unreasonable effort (refer to page 62 for Significant Items recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019). Beginning January 1, 2020, the company recognizes non-cash accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense as a restructuring and asset related charge. For further discussion of accelerated prepaid royalty amortization refer to Note 5 - Restructuring and Asset Related Charges, Net, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following supplemental unaudited pro forma statement of operations (the "unaudited pro forma statement of operations") for Corteva gives effect to the Merger, the debt retirement transactions related to paying off or retiring portions of EID’s existing debt liabilities (refer to the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further information), and the separation and distribution to DowDuPont stockholders of all the outstanding shares of Corteva common stock as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2016. Beginning in the second quarter 2019, results represent the consolidated balances of the company, and prior to the second quarter 2019, results consist of the combined results of operations for Historical EID and DAS. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations below was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and events that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results (e.g., inventory step-up costs) are excluded. One-time transaction-related costs incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the Merger, the debt redemptions/repayments, and the Corteva Distribution are not included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations through March 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations has not been adjusted for restructuring or integration activities or other costs following the separation and distribution transactions that may be incurred to achieve cost or growth synergies of Corteva. As no assurance can be made that these costs will be incurred or the growth synergies will be achieved, no adjustment has been made.

The unaudited pro forma statement of operations has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Corteva’s results of operations actually would have been had the above transactions been completed on January 1, 2016. In addition, the unaudited pro forma statement of operations does not purport to project the future operating results of the company. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations was based on and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained within the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Segment Reviews

The company operates in two reportable segments: Seed and Crop Protection.

Seed

The company’s seed segment is a global leader in developing and supplying advanced germplasm and traits that produce optimum yield for farms around the world. The segment offers trait technologies that improve resistance to weather, disease, insects and weeds, and trait technologies that enhance food and nutritional characteristics, and also provides digital solutions that assist farmer decision-making with a view to optimize product selection and, ultimately, maximize yield and profitability. The segment competes in a wide variety of agricultural markets.

Crop Protection

The crop protection segment serves the global agricultural input industry with products that protect against weeds, insects and other pests, and disease, and that improve overall crop health both above and below ground via nitrogen management and seed-applied technologies. The segment is a leader in global herbicides, insecticides, below-ground nitrogen stabilizers and pasture and range management herbicides.

Summarized below are comments on individual segment net sales and segment operating EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same period in 2019. For purposes of the nine months ended September 30, 2019, segment operating EBITDA is calculated on a pro forma basis, as this is the manner in which the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources. Pro forma adjustments used in the calculation of pro forma segment operating EBITDA were determined in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. These adjustments give effect to the Merger, the debt retirement transactions related to paying off or retiring portions of EID’s existing debt liabilities (refer to the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further information), and the separation and distribution to DowDuPont stockholders of all the outstanding shares of Corteva common stock as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2016 (refer to supplemental unaudited pro forma financial statements on page 55). The company defines segment operating EBITDA as earnings (i.e., income from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, corporate expenses, non-operating (benefits) costs - net and foreign exchange gains (losses), excluding the impact of significant items. Non-operating (benefits) costs - net consists of non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) credits, tax indemnification adjustments and environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy EID businesses and sites. Tax indemnification adjustments relate to changes in indemnification balances, as a result of the application of the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, between Corteva and Dow and/or DuPont that are recorded by the company as pre-tax income or expense. See Note 19 - Segment Information, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for details related to significant pre-tax benefits (charges) excluded from segment operating EBITDA. All references to prices are based on local price unless otherwise specified.

A reconciliation of pro forma segment operating EBITDA to income from continuing operations before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is included in Note 19 - Segment Information, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Seed

Seed net sales were $523 million in the third quarter of 2020, down from $681 million in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was driven by an 11 percent decline in volume, a 9 percent decline in currency, and a 3 percent decline in local price.

The decrease in volume was the effect of timing shifts in North America due to the unprecedented weather impacts in the year-ago period, which shifted seed sales from second quarter 2019 to the third quarter 2019. The impact of timing was partially offset by strong summer and early safrinha sales in Latin America. Unfavorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian Real. The decline in local price was primarily due to the delay in timing of 2019 seed sales, coupled with the end-of-season customer settlements in North America.

Segment operating EBITDA was $(282) million in the third quarter of 2020, a 4 percent improvement compared to segment operating EBITDA of $(295) million in the third quarter of 2019. Ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts, lower bad debt expense, and lower commissions more than offset volume and price declines and the unfavorable impact of currency.

Seed net sales were $6,516 million for the first nine months of 2020, up from $6,347 million in the first nine months of 2019. The increase was driven by a 4 percent increase in volume and a 2 percent increase in local price, partially offset by a 3 percent decline in currency.

Seed reported price and volume gains in all regions, led by strong summer and early safrinha sales in Latin America and share gains in EMEA. Global corn price increased 2 percent and North America soybean price increased 1 percent versus the year-ago period. Unfavorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian Real.

58

Segment operating EBITDA was $1,255 million for the first nine months of 2020, up 18 percent from pro forma segment operating EBITDA of $1,066 million for the first nine months of 2019. Favorable mix, volume gains, and ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts more than offset the unfavorable impact of currency, higher commissions, and input costs due to lower yields on corn.

Crop Protection

Crop protection net sales were $1,340 million in the third quarter of 2020, up from $1,230 million in the third quarter of 2019. Gains were driven by a 16 percent increase in volume and a 5 percent increase in local price, partially offset by an 11 percent decline in currency, and a 1 percent impact from portfolio.

Volume gains were primarily driven by a strong start to the Latin America season. This impact was coupled with strong demand for new products globally, including EnlistTM and RinskorTM herbicides and IsoclastTM and PyraxaltTM insecticides. Local price rose due to increases in Latin America to offset currency. Unfavorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian real. The portfolio impact was driven by the strategic divestiture of an off-patent product.

Segment operating EBITDA was $130 million in the third quarter of 2020, up from $119 million in the third quarter of 2019. Volume gains, favorable mix, and ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts more than offset the unfavorable impact of currency and increased investment in research and development.

Crop protection net sales were $4,494 million for the first nine months of 2020, approximately flat compared to $4,516 million in the first nine months of 2019. The change was driven by a 5 percent increase in volume and a 2 percent increase in local price, which was more than offset by a 6 percent decline in currency and a 1 percent impact from portfolio.

The increase in volume was driven by strong demand for new products globally, including RinskorTM, ArlyexTM, and EnlistTM herbicides and IsoclastTM insecticide. The increase in local price was driven by increases in Latin America to offset currency. Unfavorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian Real. Pricing gains from new product launches were partially offset by increased grower incentive program discounts in North America. The portfolio impact was driven by divestitures of off-patent products in Asia Pacific and North America.

Segment operating EBITDA was $677 million for the first nine months of 2020, down from pro forma segment operating EBITDA of $789 million for the first nine months of 2019. Sales from new products and ongoing cost synergies and productivity efforts were more than offset by higher input costs, the unfavorable impact of currency, and increased investment in research and development.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company presents certain financial measures that do not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures include Operating EBITDA and operating earnings per share. Management uses these measures internally for planning and forecasting, including allocating resources and evaluating incentive compensation. 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 an alternative 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. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided below. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 information is on a pro forma basis and these non-GAAP measures are being reconciled to a pro forma GAAP financial measure prepared and presented in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, which are reconciled to the GAAP reported figures. See Article 11 Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations on page 55.

Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., income from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating (benefits) costs - net and foreign exchange gains (losses), net, excluding the impact of significant items (including goodwill impairment charges). Non-operating (benefits) costs - net consists of non-operating pension and OPEB credits, tax indemnification adjustments and environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy businesses and sites of Historical DuPont. Tax indemnification adjustments relate to changes in indemnification balances, as a result of the application of the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, between Corteva and Dow and/or DuPont that are recorded by the company as pre-tax income or expense. Operating earnings per share is defined as "Earnings per common share from continuing operations - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items (including goodwill impairment charges), the after-tax impact of non-operating (benefits) costs - net, and the after-tax impact of amortization expense associated with intangible assets existing as of the Separation from DowDuPont. Although amortization of the company's intangible assets is excluded from these non-GAAP measures, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in amortization of additional intangible assets.

1.The tax benefit impact of significant items for the three months ended September 30, 2019 includes a net tax benefit of $13 million related to application of the The Act's foreign tax provisions. In addition to this, the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a net tax charge of $(96) million related to the application of the U.S. tax reform’s foreign tax provisions, a tax benefit of $102 million related to an internal legal entity restructuring associated with the Internal Reorganizations and net tax charges of $(146) million related to U.S. state blended tax rate changes associated with the Internal Reorganizations.

2.The three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 tax only significant item benefit is related to Swiss Tax Reform. The nine months ended September 30, 2020 tax only significant item benefits are primarily related to a benefit due to an elective change in accounting method that alters the 2019 impact of the business separation on The Act's foreign tax provisions and a state tax valuation allowance in the U.S. based on a change in judgment about the realizability of a deferred tax asset.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Information related to the company's liquidity and capital resources can be found in the company’s 2019 Annual Report, Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity & Capital Resources. The discussion below provides the updates to this information for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(Dollars in millions)	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	2,920	$	1,769	$	2,097
Total debt	$	3,244	$	122	$	3,720

The company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019 were $2,920 million, $1,769 million and $2,097 million, respectively. Total debt at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019 was $3,244 million, $122 million, and $3,720 million, respectively. The increase in debt balances from December 31, 2019 was primarily due to funding the company’s seasonal working capital needs and capital expenditures, and the May 2020 Debt Offering. See further information in Note 13 - Short-Term Borrowings, Long-Term Debt and Available Credit Facilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The company believes its ability to generate cash from operations and access to capital markets and commercial paper markets will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements to fund its operations, including seasonal working capital, capital spending and pension obligations. Corteva's strong financial position, liquidity and credit ratings will provide access as needed to capital markets and commercial paper markets to fund seasonal working capital needs. The company's liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources, including cash provided by operating activities, commercial paper, syndicated credit lines, bilateral credit lines, long-term debt markets, bank financing and committed receivable repurchase facilities. Corteva considers the borrowing costs and lending terms when selecting the source to fund its operations and working capital needs.

The company had access to approximately $6.4 billion in committed and uncommitted unused credit lines at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019. In addition to the unused credit facilities, the company has a $1.3 billion 2020 Repurchase Facility (as defined below). These facilities provide support to meet the company’s short-term liquidity needs and for general corporate purposes which may include funding of discretionary and non-discretionary contributions to certain benefit plans, severance payments, repayment and refinancing of debt, working capital, capital expenditures, repurchases and redemptions of securities, and funding Corteva's costs and expenses.

In November 2018, EID entered into a $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility and a $3.0 billion three-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facilities”). The Revolving Credit Facilities became effective May 2019 in connection with the termination of the EID $4.5 billion Term Loan Facility and the $3.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility dated May 2014. Corteva, Inc. became a party to the Revolving Credit Facilities upon the Corteva Distribution. In March 2020, the company drew down $500 million under the three year revolving credit facility to finance its short term liquidity needs as a result of the volatility and increased borrowing costs of commercial paper resulting from the unstable market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and repaid that borrowing in full in June 2020. The Revolving Credit Facilities contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are typical for companies with similar credit ratings. The Revolving Credit Facilities also contain a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization for Corteva and its consolidated subsidiaries not exceed 0.60. At September 30, 2020 the company was in compliance with these covenants.

In May 2020, EID issued $500 million of 1.70 percent Senior Notes due 2025 and $500 million of 2.30 percent Senior Notes due 2030 (the May 2020 Debt Offering). The proceeds of this offering are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include discretionary contributions to the company’s U.S. principal pension plan and repayment of other indebtedness.

The company's indenture covenants include customary limitations on liens, sale and leaseback transactions, and mergers and consolidations affecting manufacturing plants, mineral producing properties or research facilities located in the U.S. and the consolidated subsidiaries owning such plants, properties and facilities subject to certain limitations. The outstanding long-term debt also contains customary default provisions.

The company has meaningful seasonal working capital needs based in part on providing financing to its customers. Working capital is funded through multiple methods including cash, commercial paper, a receivable repurchase facility, the Revolving Credit Facilities, and factoring.

63

In February 2020, in line with seasonal working capital requirements, the company entered into a committed receivable repurchase agreement of up to $1.3 billion (the "2020 Repurchase Facility") which expires in December 2020. Under the 2020 Repurchase Facility, Corteva may sell a portfolio of available and eligible outstanding customer notes receivables to participating institutions and simultaneously agree to repurchase at a future date. See further discussion of this facility in Note 13 - Short-Term Borrowings, Long-Term Debt and Available Credit Facilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The company has factoring agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell its trade receivables under both recourse and non-recourse agreements in exchange for cash proceeds in an effort to reduce its receivables risk. For arrangements that include an element of recourse, the company provides a guarantee of the trade receivables in the event of customer default. Refer to Note 10 - Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

The company also organizes agreements with third-party financial institutions who directly provide financing for select customers of the company's seed and crop protection products in each region. Terms of the third-party loans are less than a year and programs are renewed on an annual basis. In some cases, the company guarantees a portion of the extension of such credit to such customers. Refer to Note 14 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the company’s guarantees.

The company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019 are $2.9 billion, $1.8 billion, and $2.1 billion respectively, of which $2.6 billion at September 30, 2020, $1.5 billion at December 31, 2019, and $2.0 billion at September 30, 2019 was held by subsidiaries in foreign countries, including United States territories.

The Act required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on the untaxed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Upon actual repatriation, such earnings could be subject to withholding taxes, foreign and/or U.S. state income taxes, and taxes resulting from the impact of foreign currency movements.  The Act also introduced a 100 percent dividends received deduction regarding earnings of foreign subsidiaries.  The cash held by foreign subsidiaries is generally used to finance the subsidiaries' operational activities and future foreign investments.  At September 30, 2020, management believed that sufficient liquidity is available in the U.S.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash used for operating activities was $1.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $2.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in cash used for operating activities was driven by a decrease in integration and separation costs, lower working capital changes and lower pension contributions, partially offset by the absence of the net impact of cash earnings from EID ECP and EID Specialty Products entities as a result of the Internal Reorganizations and Business Realignments in 2019.

Cash used for investing activities was $0.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change was due primarily due to lower capital expenditures driven by the Internal Reorganizations and Business Realignments in 2019, partially offset by higher net purchases of investments and lower proceeds from sales of property, businesses, and consolidated companies.

Cash provided by financing activities was $2.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.8 billion provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change was primarily due to lower payments on long-term debt, due to the 2019 debt retirement transactions related to paying off or retiring portions of EID’s existing debt liabilities (using a portion of the contributions from DowDuPont), the May 2020 Debt Offering, and the absence of distributions to DowDuPont (which in 2019 were used primarily to fund a portion of DowDuPont’s dividend payments). This was partially offset by dividends to Corteva stockholders, lower borrowings (less than 90 days), payments for the acquisition of noncontrolling interests and repurchases of Corteva common stock. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 there was a transfer of cash to DowDuPont as part of the Internal Reorganizations.

In February 2020, the company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock dividend of $0.13 per share, payable on March 13, 2020, to shareholders of record on March 3, 2020. In April 2020, the company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock dividend of $0.13 per share, payable on June 15, 2020, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2020. In July 2020, the company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock dividend of $0.13 per share, payable on September 15, 2020, to shareholders of record on August 14, 2020. In October 2020, the company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock dividend of $0.13 per share, payable on December 15, 2020, to shareholders of record on November 13, 2020.

64

On June 26, 2019, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program to purchase Corteva, Inc.'s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, without an expiration date.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the company purchased and retired 1,160,000 shares in the open market for a total cost of $33 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company purchased and retired 3,025,000 shares for a total cost of $83 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the company purchased and retired 824,000 shares for a total cost of $25 million. See Note 15 - Stockholders' Equity, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the share buyback plan.

EID Liquidity Discussion

As discussed in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation, to the EID Consolidated Financial Statements, EID is a subsidiary of Corteva, Inc. and continues to be a reporting company, subject to the requirements of the Exchange Act. The below relates to EID only and is presented to provide a Liquidity discussion for the differences between EID and Corteva, Inc.

Cash used for operating activities

EID’s cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1.3 billion compared to $2.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change was primarily driven by the items noted above under the header, "Summary of Cash Flows," partially offset by interest incurred on the related party loan between EID and Corteva, Inc.

Cash provided by financing activities

EID’s cash provided by financing activities was $2.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change was due to lower payments on long-term debt due to the 2019 debt retirement transactions related to paying off or retiring portions of EID’s existing debt liabilities (using a portion of the contributions from DowDuPont and proceeds from related party debt), the May 2020 Debt Offering, the absence of distributions to DowDuPont (which in 2019 were used primarily to fund a portion of DowDuPont’s dividend payments). This activity was partially offset by lower proceeds from related party debt and higher payments on related party debt, lower borrowings (less than 90 days) and payments for the acquisition of noncontrolling interests. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 there was a transfer of cash to DowDuPont as part of the Internal Reorganizations.

See Note 2 - Related Party Transactions, to the EID Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the related party loan between EID and Corteva, Inc.

Guarantees and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Note 14 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The company's significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 in the company's 2019 Annual Report. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the company to provide the users of the financial statements with useful and reliable information about the company's operating results and financial condition.

Valuation of Assets and Impairment Considerations

The company tests goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually (during the fourth quarter), or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has declined below its carrying value. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment using qualitative and / or quantitative testing procedures. The company performs goodwill impairment testing at the reporting unit level which is defined as the operating segment or one level below the operating segment. One level below the operating segment, or component, is a business in which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management. The Company aggregates certain components into reporting units based on economic similarities.

As a result of changes in the company's long-term projections driven largely by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mid-term forecasted cash flows of the business, including, but not limited to currency fluctuations, expectations of future planted area (as influenced by consumer demand, ethanol markets and government policies and regulations) and relative commodity prices, the company determined a triggering event had occurred during the second quarter of 2020 that required an interim impairment assessment for its seed and crop protection reporting units and its tradename indefinite lived intangible asset.

The quantitative impairment analysis for the company’s reporting units was performed using a discounted cash flow model (a form of the income approach), utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs, and the analysis for the tradename indefinite lived intangible asset was performed using a relief from royalty valuation method. The company’s significant assumptions in these analyses include future cash flow projections, discount rates, the terminal growth rate, the royalty rate (tradename), and the tax rate. The company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on current regulatory and economic climates, recent operating results, and planned business strategy and includes an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on its most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit. Actual results may differ from those assumed in the company’s forecasts. The company derives its discount rates using a capital asset pricing model and analyzes published rates for industries relevant to its reporting units to estimate the cost of equity financing. The company uses discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting units and in its internally developed forecasts. Discount rates used in the company’s valuations ranged from 9.5% to 10.5%.

The company believes the current assumptions and estimates utilized are both reasonable and appropriate. Based on the goodwill impairment analyses performed, the company concluded the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values by more than 15 percent, and no goodwill impairment charge was necessary.

Based on the impairment analysis performed over the company’s tradename indefinite lived intangible asset it was determined fair value approximates carrying value, and no impairment charge was necessary.  However, this intangible asset is at higher risk to have impairment charges in future periods, if significant assumptions were to deteriorate.

The dynamic economic environments in which the company's diversified Seed product lines operate, and key economic and product line assumptions for the Seed business with respect to projected selling prices, product mix, market growth and inflation rates, can significantly affect the outcome of impairment tests for the tradename indefinite-lived intangible asset. Further, cost of capital and currency and tax rates are dependent on macroeconomic factors and government policies and regulations, which are outside the company’s control. Estimates based on these assumptions may differ significantly from actual results. Changes in factors, circumstances and assumptions used in assessing potential impairments can have a significant impact on the existence, magnitude and timing of impairments, if any, as well as the time in which such impairments are recognized.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The company is subject to various legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, product liability, intellectual property, antitrust, commercial, property damage, personal injury, environmental and regulatory matters arising out of the normal course of its current businesses or legacy EID businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses but allocated to Corteva as part of the Separation of Corteva from DuPont. Information regarding certain of these matters is set forth below and in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Even when the Company believes liabilities are not expected to be material or the probability of loss or of an adverse unappealable final judgment is remote, the Company may consider settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company, including avoidance of future distraction and litigation defense cost, and its shareholders.

Litigation related to Corteva’s current businesses

Canadian Competition Bureau Formal Inquiry

On January 30, 2020, the Canadian Competition Bureau (the “Bureau”) filed a court order for the company to produce records and information as part of a formal inquiry under civil sections of Canada’s competition laws. The inquiry is in response to allegations by the Farmers Business Network ("FBN") that Corteva and other seeds and crop protection manufacturers and wholesalers unilaterally or in coordination refused, restricted and/or impaired supply of products to FBN in western Canada. This inquiry follows an informal request for information from the Bureau pursuant to which the company voluntarily provided documents and engaged in discussions with the Bureau outlining how its conduct was and continues to be compliant with Canadian competition laws. Corteva continues to cooperate with the Bureau’s inquiries, but believes the likelihood of material liability is remote.

Federal Trade Commission Investigation

On May 26, 2020, Corteva received a subpoena from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) directing it to submit documents pertaining to its crop protection products generally, as well as business plans, rebate programs, offers, pricing and marketing materials specifically related to its acetochlor, oxamyl and rimsulfuron and other related products in order to determine whether Corteva engaged in unfair methods of competition through anticompetitive conduct. Corteva is cooperating with the FTC’s subpoena, but believes the likelihood of material liability is remote.

Litigation related to legacy EID businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses

As discussed below and in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, certain of the environmental proceedings and litigation allocated to Corteva as part of the Separation from DuPont relate to the legacy EID businesses, including their use of PFOA, which, for purposes of this report, means collectively perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts, including the ammonium salt and does not distinguish between the two forms, and PFAS, which means per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, including PFOA, PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid), GenX and other perfluorinated chemicals and compounds ("PFCs"). While it is reasonably possible that the company could incur liabilities related to these actions, any such liabilities are not expected to be material.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreements, the company is entitled to indemnification for certain liabilities related to legacy EID businesses. On May 13, 2019, Chemours filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against DuPont, Corteva, and EID alleging, among other things, that the litigation and environmental liabilities allocated to Chemours under the Chemours Separation Agreement were underestimated and asking that the Court either limit the amount of Chemours’ indemnification obligations or, alternatively, order the return of the $3.91 billion dividend Chemours paid to EID prior to its separation. Further information with respect to this proceeding is set forth in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The company believes the probability of liability with respect to Chemours' suit to be remote.

Environmental Proceedings

The company believes it is remote that the following matters will have a material impact on its financial position, liquidity or results of operations. The matters below involve the potential for $1 million or more in monetary fines and are included per Item 103(3)(c)(iii) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Related to Corteva's current businesses

La Porte Plant, La Porte, Texas - Crop Protection - Release Incident Investigations

On November 15, 2014, there was a release of methyl mercaptan at EID's La Porte, Texas, facility. The release occurred at the site’s crop protection unit resulting in four employee fatalities inside the unit. The Chemical Safety Board (“CSB”) issued its final report on June 18, 2019, which included recommendations related to the emergency response program at La Porte. Corteva responded to the CSB on September 30, 2019 outlining the actions it has taken to date to address the recommendations for the site and providing its plan to address the CSB’s remaining recommendations. Corteva continues to cooperate with the ongoing criminal U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the Department of Justice ("DOJ") investigations and is having discussions with the DOJ regarding potential criminal charges and EID's defenses under the U.S. Clean Air Act. These investigations could result in sanctions and criminal penalties against Corteva.

Related to legacy EID businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses

Sabine Plant, Orange, Texas - EPA Multimedia Inspection

In June 2012, EID began discussions with the EPA and the DOJ related to a multimedia inspection that the EPA conducted at the Sabine facility in March 2009 and December 2015. The discussions involve the management of materials in the facility's waste water treatment system, hazardous waste management, flare and air emissions, including leak detection and repair. These discussions continue. Under the Separation Agreement, Corteva and DuPont will share any future liabilities proportionally on the basis of 29% and 71%, respectively.

Divested Neoprene Facility, La Place, Louisiana - EPA Compliance Inspection

In 2016, the EPA conducted a focused compliance investigation at the Denka Performance Elastomer LLC (“Denka”) neoprene manufacturing facility in La Place, Louisiana. EID sold the neoprene business, including this manufacturing facility, to Denka in the fourth quarter of 2015. In the spring of 2017, the EPA, the DOJ, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, EID and Denka began discussions relating to the inspection conclusions and allegations of noncompliance arising under the Clean Air Act, including leak detection and repair. These discussions, which include potential settlement options, continue. Under the Separation Agreement, DuPont is defending and indemnifying the company in this matter.

New Jersey Directive PFAS

On March 25, 2019, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) issued a Statewide PFAS Directive to several companies, including Chemours, DuPont, and EID. The Directive seeks information relating to the use and environmental release of PFAS and PFAS-replacement chemicals at and from two former EID sites in New Jersey, Chambers Works and Parlin, and a funding source for costs related to the NJDEP’s investigation of PFAS issues and PFAS testing and remediation.

Chemours has agreed, with reservations, to defend and indemnify EID in this matter.

New Jersey Directive Pompton Lakes

On March 27, 2019, the NJDEP issued to Chemours and EID a Natural Resource Damages Directive relating to chemical contamination (non-PFAS) at and around EID’s former Pompton Lakes facility in New Jersey. The Directive alleges that this contamination has harmed the natural resources of New Jersey. It seeks $125,000 as reimbursement for the cost of preparing a natural resource damages assessment, which the State will use to determine the extent of such damage and the amount it expects to seek to restore the affected natural resources to their pre-damage state.

Chemours has agreed, with reservations, to defend and indemnify EID in this matter.

Natural Resource Damage Cases

Since May 2017, several municipal water districts and state attorneys general have filed lawsuits against EID, Corteva, Chemours, 3M, and others, claiming contamination of public water systems by PFCs, including but not limited to PFOA. These actions with the municipalities and states seeking economic impact damages for alleged harm to natural resources, punitive damages, present and future costs to cleanup PFOA contamination and the abatement of alleged nuisance with filtration systems. Further information with respect to these proceedings is set forth under "Other PFOA Matters" in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The significant factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results are described in our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K under Item 1A - Risk Factors, and are supplemented by the following risk factors below.

Global or regional health pandemics or epidemics, including COVID-19, could negatively impact the company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Corteva's business, financial condition, and results of operations could be negatively impacted by COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics. The severity, magnitude and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic and future outbreaks is uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted foreign currency exchange rates, as a result of a generally stronger U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in the countries in which the company operates, which has adversely affected the company's reported results of operations. These relative differences could widen and further adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

COVID-19 and the related government-imposed restrictions, including stay at home orders, has significantly impacted other economic activity and markets around the world, which could negatively impact the company's business, financial condition, and results of operations in numerous ways, including but not limited to those outlined below:

•Current and future COVID-19 outbreaks and resulting illness, travel restrictions and workforce disruptions could impact Corteva's global supply chain, its operations and its routes to market or those of its suppliers, co-manufacturers, or customers/distributors. These disruptions or the company's failure to effectively respond to them could increase product or distribution costs, alter the timing of recognizing manufacturing costs, or impact the delivery of products to customers.

•Government or regulatory responses to pandemics could negatively impact the company's business. Mandatory lockdowns or other restrictions on operations in certain countries have temporarily disrupted the company's ability to operate or distribute its products in these markets. Continuation or expansion of these disruptions could materially adversely impact the company's operations and results.

•Reductions to the company’s forecasted profitability and continued global economic decline could trigger potential impairment of the carrying value of goodwill or other indefinite and definite-lived intangible assets.

•The instability or unavailability of a farm workforce to harvest agricultural products could impact the company's customers’ ability to monetize their crop and potentially impact the collection of the company's customer receivables.

•Continued commodity cost volatility is expected and the company's commodity hedging activities may not sufficiently offset this volatility. Depressed commodity prices may increase the insolvency risk of Corteva's customers in the longer-term, along with reducing the demand for Corteva's products.

•Disruptions or uncertainties related to the COVID-19 outbreak for a sustained period of time could result in delays or modifications to the company's strategic plans and productivity initiatives.

•Increased volatility and pricing in the capital and commercial paper markets may reoccur and impact the company's access to preferred sources of liquidity resulting in higher borrowing costs. The company cannot assure investors that additional liquidity will be readily available or available on favorable terms.

•Increased market volatility may bring unprecedented market conditions making it difficult for the company to adequately forecast customer demand.

Therefore, the impact of the recent COVID-19 outbreak and the unprecedented economic conditions resulting from it will have on the company's consolidated results of operations is uncertain, but could still negatively impact the company's business operations, financial performance and results of operations in the future.

Reduction in ethanol demand driven by declines in crude oil and gasoline consumption have negatively impacted demand for corn, which can negatively impact the company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

During 2020 global and U.S. crude oil price benchmarks suffered record declines in demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic stay-at-home orders and over-supply due to price disputes between Russia and Saudi Arabia.  U.S. ethanol producers have shut down their facilities and declared “force majeure” on shipments for corn purchases due to depressed demand. Similar trends with respect to bio-fuels, like ethanol, are occurring globally. Approximately one-third of U.S. corn has been historically used in the production of ethanol for gasoline. However, U.S. ethanol supplied bottomed at approximately 53% of its pre-COVID-19 U.S. lockdown levels in April 2020 and had only rebounded to approximately 85% of its pre-COVID lockdown levels in July 2020.  This lost corn utilization to manufacture ethanol is adding to ending corn inventory stock.  Continued declines in the demand for corn, or over-supply, will negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The timing, price and volume of purchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors.

72

Item 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

On June 1, 2019, Corteva, Inc. became an independent, publicly traded company through the previously announced separation (the “Separation”) of the agriculture business of DowDuPont Inc. (“DowDuPont”).  The separation was effectuated through a pro rata distribution of all of the then-issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Corteva, Inc., which was then a wholly-owned subsidiary of DowDuPont, to holders of record of DowDuPont common stock as of the close of business on May 24, 2019.  The Separation is intended to qualify as a tax-free spinoff for United States tax purposes under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Previously, DowDuPont was formed on December 9, 2015, to effect an all-stock merger of equals strategic combination between The Dow Chemical Company ("Historical Dow") and EID. On August 31, 2017 at 11:59 pm ET, Historical Dow and Historical EID each merged with wholly-owned subsidiaries of DowDuPont and became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the “Merger”).
