DuPont Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2004 Earnings

Highlights

• Fourth quarter 2004 earnings were $.28 per share.
  

• Fourth quarter earnings before special items were $.37 per share.
  

• Segment sales, excluding the divested Textiles & Interiors businesses, grew 14 percent on 5 percent volume growth and 7 percent higher U.S. dollar selling prices. Local selling price increases more than offset the impact of higher raw material costs.
  

• Fourth quarter segment pretax operating income (PTOI), before special items, was $709 million, up 32 percent.
  

• Full-year 2004 earnings per share before special items were $2.38, up 43 percent, compared to $1.66 earned last year.
  

            "The fourth quarter caps a year of improved operating performance by our company, delivering broad-based revenue growth, cost productivity and margin improvement," said Charles O. Holliday, Jr., DuPont chairman and chief executive officer. "We are executing our strategies to put our science to work, to go where the growth is, and to leverage the global capabilities of our company. I am very pleased with the positive momentum our employees are creating for DuPont, our customers and our shareholders."

Global Consolidated Net Sales and Net Income
            Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter were $6.0 billion compared to $6.5 billion in the fourth quarter 2003, and $27.3 billion for the full year compared to $27.0 billion in 2003. Net income for the fourth quarter was $278 million or $.28 per share compared to $636 million or $.63 per share in the prior year. Net income for the full year was $1,780 million or $1.77 per share, compared to $973 million or $.96 per share for 2003.
            Fourth quarter net income before special items was $371 million or $.37 per share, up 28 percent. Higher selling prices and volume growth more than offset higher energy and raw material costs. Variances reconciling 2004 fourth quarter earnings per share before special items with fourth quarter 2003 are shown in the table below:

Earnings Per Share (EPS)
		4th Quarter
	EPS before special items - 2003	$ .29
	Variance versus 4th Qtr. 2003 from:
	Local Prices	.19
	Volume	.06
	Variable Costs	(.11)
	Fixed Costs	(.05)
	Currency	.03
	Tax Rate	(.06)
	Portfolio Changes	(.04)
	All Other (including Pharmaceuticals)	.06
	EPS before special items - 2004	$ .37

	4th Quarter
Reported EPS - 2003	$ .63
Reported EPS - 2004	$ .28

            For the year 2004, net income before special items was $2.4 billion or $2.38 per share versus $1.7 billion or $1.66 per share in the prior year, up 43 percent. The improvement reflects higher selling prices, volume growth, lower operating costs and favorable currency exchange rates, partly offset by higher energy and raw material costs.

Business Segment Performance - Segment Sales
            As shown below, Core Segment sales, which exclude the divested Textiles & Interiors businesses and include transfers and a pro rata share of equity affiliate sales were $6.3 billion in the fourth quarter, up 14 percent versus 2003. Sales growth can be attributed largely to 5 percent volume growth and 7 percent higher U.S. dollar prices, which include 4 percent higher local selling prices. Positive pricing momentum for the Core Segments continued throughout the fourth quarter.

Outlook
          "With the structural transformation of our company now complete, our number one priority is delivering on our three business strategies which we are confident will create superior value for our customers and our shareholders," said Holliday.
          DuPont expects 2005 earnings per share to be between $2.65 and $2.85 excluding special items. Continued success in executing the company's growth and productivity strategies within its cash discipline principles is expected to improve earnings per share as well as cash flow.
          Key expectations underlying this outlook are:

Revenue growth:

• Sales from new products are expected to increase to 33 percent of total sales as the company continues to introduce new products and realizes the full advantage of hundreds of new products introduced in the previous four years.
• The pricing momentum created in 2004 will continue.
• Emerging market growth is expected to continue to outpace global GDP growth as the company increases its penetration into those markets.
  

8

Productivity improvements:

• The application of Six Sigma technologies to global sourcing, energy reduction, yield improvements, increases in manufacturing uptime and other supply chain efficiencies will intensify in 2005.
• The company will improve operating margins by realizing the full-year savings from the 2004 $900 million cost improvement program coupled with increases in sales and marketing effectiveness and improved pricing.
  

Global economy:

• Worldwide industrial economic growth will be at historical trend line rates with strong growth in Eastern Europe, China and Latin America, and growth slightly below trend line levels in North America and Western Europe.
• Raw material costs will increase above 2004, as oil and U.S. natural gas prices persist at current levels.
  

          The company's agriculture businesses are highly seasonal. Historically, about two-thirds of the company's revenues have been realized in the first half of the calendar year. As a result, the company expects that approximately 70 percent of 2005 earnings per share excluding any special items will be realized within the first half of the year. Based on historic patterns of seasonality, first half earnings per share would be about evenly split between the first and second quarters.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
          Management believes that measures of earnings before special items ("non-GAAP" information) are meaningful to investors because they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the company. Special items represent significant charges or credits that are important to an understanding of the company's ongoing operations. Such measurements are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in Schedule G.
