DUPONT REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2005 EARNINGS --
EXPECTS EARNINGS OF $2.60 PER SHARE FOR 2006


Highlights

  • The company reported fourth quarter earnings of $.16 per share, compared to fourth quarter 2004 earnings of $.28 per share.
  • Fourth quarter earnings before significant items were $.13 per share compared to $.37 per share in the fourth quarter 2004. The reduction in earnings is largely attributable to disruptions from hurricanes and other plant outages, higher energy and ingredient costs and lower crop protection product sales.
  • Fourth quarter raw material costs increased $350 million versus last year. Local price increases of 5 percent offset about 75 percent of this cost increase.
  • Total worldwide volumes declined 4 percent. Excluding the estimated impact of business interruptions from Gulf Coast hurricanes, volumes would have been essentially flat.
  • During the fourth quarter the company completed a $3 billion share buyback, reducing shares outstanding by 8 percent.
  • Full-year 2005 earnings were $2.07 per share versus $1.77 in 2004. Before significant items, earnings per share in 2005 totaled $2.34 compared to $2.38 in 2004.
  • The company expects 2006 earnings per share of about $2.60, an increase of 11 percent, compared to 2005 earnings per share before significant items.

Global Consolidated Net Income and Sales
            Net income for the fourth quarter was $153 million, or $.16 per share, including a $.03 per share significant item benefit from lower than expected tax cost associated with the repatriation of cash under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Fourth quarter 2004 net income was $278 million, or $.28 per share, including significant items totaling a net after-tax charge of $93 million, or $.09 per share. See Schedule B for a summary of significant items.

            Current quarter net income reflects the impact of prolonged disruptions to power, logistics and to production and sales resulting from Gulf Coast Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, in addition to temporary unplanned production interruptions at three of the company's plants which are located in Brazil, The Netherlands and the United States. Fourth quarter net income also reflects lower sales of crop protection products, and higher costs. These negatives were partly offset by an income tax benefit recorded in the quarter, resulting from a lower full-year base income tax rate.
            Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter were $5.8 billion, down 3 percent versus the fourth quarter 2004, but were flat on a comparable business basis. Local selling prices were up 5 percent offsetting a 4 percent volume decline.
            Hurricane-related production disruptions to U.S. plants affected sales in all regions. Excluding these production disruptions, worldwide volumes would have been flat and U.S. volumes up modestly, as shown in the table below. Volumes in the Asia Pacific region were negatively affected by the hurricane impact and lower sales of crop protection chemicals attributable to lower insect pressure in the growing season.

The $.20 per share benefit from higher local prices offset about 60 percent of the combined impact of higher raw material costs and lower volumes. Fixed costs increased, principally due to production disruptions from hurricanes and other unplanned plant outages, in addition to higher investment for growth.
Business Segment Performance
            Segment pretax operating income (PTOI) for fourth quarter 2005 was $393 million compared to $596 million in the fourth quarter 2004. Segment PTOI and percentage changes versus fourth quarter 2004 are shown in the table below.

Outlook
            "We will continue to face challenging headwinds during 2006, and our priorities for the year are very clear. Each of the four improvement actions we announced on Nov. 7 are on or ahead of schedule," said Chairman and CEO Charles O.Holliday, Jr. "Our strategies and these actions are the right steps to accelerate creation of superior value for our customers and shareholders."
          The company expects several factors to negatively impact first quarter 2006 results versus the first quarter 2005 earnings of $.96 per share:

            Taking these factors into account, first quarter 2006 earnings are expected to be about
$.70 per share. The company's recently announced initiatives to accelerate value creation, combined with the share repurchase program, should enable the company to earn about $2.60 per share in 2006. The company reported $2.34 per share before significant items in 2005.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
            Management believes that measures of income excluding significant items ("non-GAAP" information) are meaningful to investors because they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the company. 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. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP are provided in Schedule E.

(2)
