Liquidity & Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Information related to the company's liquidity and capital resources can be found in the company’s 2025 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 three months ended March 31, 2026.

(In millions)March 31, 2026December 31, 2025March 31, 2025
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities$1,966$4,530$2,009
Total debt$3,356$2,580$4,083

The increase in debt balances from December 31, 2025 was primarily due to higher short-term debt, which was used to fund the company's working capital needs, capital spending, dividend payments and share repurchases. See further information in Note 11 - 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, dividend payments, share repurchases, pension obligations and litigation costs, net of recoveries. 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 $6.7 billion, $6.2 billion and $6.1 billion at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, in committed and uncommitted unused credit lines, which includes the uncommitted revolving credit lines relating to the foreign currency loans. 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, acquisitions and Corteva’s costs and expenses, including the settlement of litigation and environmental remediation. These facilities are provided to the company by highly rated and well capitalized global financial institutions.

In June 2024, the Revolving Credit Facilities were refinanced for purposes of extending the maturity dates for the five-year and three-year revolving credit facilities to June 2029 and June 2027, respectively, and lowering the facility amount of the five-year revolving credit facility to $2.85 billion and the three-year revolving credit facility to $1.90 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities will have an interest rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR, which is Term SOFR plus 0.10 percent, plus the applicable margin. 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. At March 31, 2026, the company was in compliance with these covenants.

In February 2026, the company amended its January 2023 (as amended in July 2023, January 2024, February 2024 and February 2025) 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “364-Day Revolving Credit Facility”), increasing the facility amount from $750 million to $1.25 billion, extending the expiration date to February 2027 and amending the interest rate to Term SOFR plus the applicable margin. In February 2025, the company amended the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility, decreasing the facility amount from $1 billion to $750 million and extending the expiration date to February 2026. The 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility includes a provision under which the company may convert any advances outstanding prior to the maturity date into term loans having a maturity date up to one year later. The 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are typical for companies with similar credit ratings. Additionally, the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization for Corteva and its consolidated subsidiaries not exceed 0.60. At March 31, 2026, the company was in compliance with these covenants.

In May 2025, the company issued $500 million of 5.125 percent Senior Notes due in May 2032 (the “May 2025 Debt Offering”). The proceeds were used to repay the $500 million senior notes that matured in July 2025.

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, the Revolving Credit Facilities, the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility, and factoring.

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 8 - 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 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information on the company’s guarantees.

In establishing the future capital structures of the two independent companies expected to be created through the Proposed Separation, the company evaluated making discretionary contributions to its principal U.S. pension plan. In April 2026, the Board of Directors approved a contribution to the principal U.S. pension plan of approximately $1.5 billion to be made on or before July 31, 2026. The company continues to expect both companies at separation to have strong balance sheets and investment grade credit ratings.

The company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 are $2.0 billion, $4.5 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, of which $1.6 billion, $2.1 billion and $1.7 billion at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, was held by subsidiaries in foreign countries, including United States territories. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are concentrated subject to local restrictions with highly rated and well capitalized global financial institutions. The underlying credit worthiness and exposures to these counterparties are monitored on a regular basis in line with the company’s overall risk management procedures. 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 cash held by foreign subsidiaries is generally used to finance the subsidiaries’ operational activities and future foreign investments. At March 31, 2026, management believed that sufficient liquidity is available in the U.S. with global operating cash flows, borrowing capacity from existing committed credit facilities, and access to capital markets and commercial paper markets.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash provided by (used for) investing activities was $(77) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $(34) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change was primarily driven by lower proceeds from sales and maturities of investments.

Cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $389 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $995 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

For the first half of 2026, the company expects repurchases of approximately $500 million under the 2024 Share Buyback Plan discussed above.
