Dow reports fourth quarter 2025 results
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Net sales were $9.5 billion, down 9% year-over-year, reflecting declines in all operating segments. Sequentially, net sales were down 5%, led by local price and volume declines from normal seasonality.
Volume decreased 2% year-over-year, led by declines in Packaging & Specialty Plastics, driven by lower merchant olefins sales in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI) following the idling of a cracker in the region earlier in the year. Sequentially, volume decreased 2%, led by normal seasonality across building & construction.
Local price was down 8% versus the year-ago period and down 3% sequentially.
GAAP net loss was $1.5 billion. Op. EBIT1 was $33 million, down $421 million year-over-year. This was primarily driven by price declines and lower operating rates, which were partly offset by tailwinds from the Company’s cost reduction program. Sequentially, Op. EBIT decreased $147 million, driven by margin compression and seasonally lower demand, partly offset by lower fixed costs.
GAAP loss per share was $2.15; operating earnings per share (EPS)1 was a loss of $0.34, compared to $0.00 in the year-ago period and a loss of $0.19 in the prior quarter. Op. EPS excludes significant items totaling $1.81 per share, led by impairment charges associated with the Polyurethanes & Construction Chemicals business and non-cash pension settlement charges.
Cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations was $298 million, down $513 million year-over-year, primarily driven by lower earnings. Sequentially, it was down $832 million, primarily driven by advance payments received for low-carbon solutions and other long-term supply agreements in the prior quarter.
Returns to shareholders totaled $251 million of dividends in the quarter.
The Company delivered full year net sales of $40.0 billion in 2025. GAAP net loss was $2.4 billion, down from income of $1.2 billion in 2024. Operating EBIT was $0.4 billion, down from $2.6 billion last year. Cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations was $1.1 billion compared to $2.9 billion in 2024. The Company delivered returns to shareholders of $1.5 billion in dividends.

CEO QUOTE
“Dow’s self-help measures continue to gain traction and were evident in our fourth quarter results,” said Jim Fitterling, Dow chair and CEO. “In 2025, we achieved well over half of our more than $6.5 billion in near-term cash and cost support actions, including the accelerated delivery of more than $400 million in cost savings from our $1 billion program. As we move forward, Transform to Outperform represents a comprehensive and radical simplification of our operating model. It aims to deliver step-change productivity across every business and function and growth with our customers. We expect these efforts to provide at least $2 billion in additional near-term earnings while helping Dow set new competitive standards and improve shareholder returns.”

On a sequential basis, net sales declined, primarily driven by lower prices for downstream polymers, which were partly offset by higher licensing revenue.

Equity losses for the segment were $5 million, an improvement of $10 million compared to the prior year, primarily driven by lower fixed costs at Sadara. Sequentially, equity earnings were flat as improvements at Sadara following an unplanned outage last quarter were offset by lower earnings at the Thai joint ventures.

Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. A detailed discussion of principal risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the Company's subsequent reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes information that does not conform to GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company's segments, including allocating resources. Dow's management believes that these non-GAAP measures best reflect the ongoing performance of the Company during the periods presented and provide more relevant and meaningful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and a more useful comparison of year-over-year results. These non-GAAP measures supplement the Company's GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures included in this release are defined below. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures section starting on page 11. Dow does not provide forward-looking GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and potential future asset impairments, as well as discrete taxable events, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period.

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

Operating EBIT is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items.

Operating EBIT Margin is defined as Operating EBIT as a percentage of net sales.

Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) before income taxes") before interest, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of significant items.

Free Cash Flow is defined as "Cash provided by operating activities - continuing operations," less capital expenditures. Under this definition, Free Cash Flow represents the cash generated by the Company from operations after investing in its asset base. Free Cash Flow, combined with cash balances and other sources of liquidity, represent the cash available to fund obligations and provide returns to shareholders. Free Cash Flow is an integral financial measure used in the Company's financial planning process.

Cash Flow Conversion is defined as "Cash provided by operating activities - continuing operations," divided by Operating EBITDA. Management believes Cash Flow Conversion is an important financial metric as it helps the Company determine how efficiently it is converting its earnings into cash flow.

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