Dow Inc. and Subsidiaries The Dow Chemical Company and Subsidiaries

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report being filed by Dow Inc. and The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (“TDCC” and together with Dow Inc., “Dow” or the "Company") due to the parent/subsidiary relationship between Dow Inc. and TDCC. The information reflected in the report is equally applicable to both Dow Inc. and TDCC, except where otherwise noted. Each of Dow Inc. and TDCC is filing information in this report on its own behalf and neither company makes any representation to the information relating to the other company.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements often address expected future business and financial performance, financial condition, and other matters, and often contain words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “opportunity,” “outlook,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “will,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “would” and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words or phrases.

Forward-looking statements are based on current assumptions and expectations of future events that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that are beyond Dow’s control, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements and speak only as of the date the statements were made. These factors include, but are not limited to: sales of Dow’s products; Dow’s expenses, future revenues and profitability; any global and regional economic impacts of a pandemic or other public health-related risks and events on Dow’s business; any sanctions, export restrictions, supply chain disruptions or increased economic uncertainty related to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; capital requirements and need for and availability of financing; unexpected barriers in the development of technology, including with respect to Dow's contemplated capital and operating projects; Dow's ability to realize its commitment to carbon neutrality on the contemplated timeframe; size of the markets for Dow’s products and services and ability to compete in such markets; failure to develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles; the rate and degree of market acceptance of Dow’s products; significant litigation and environmental matters and related contingencies and unexpected expenses; the success of competing technologies that are or may become available; the ability to protect Dow’s intellectual property in the United States and abroad; developments related to contemplated restructuring activities and proposed divestitures or acquisitions such as workforce reduction, manufacturing facility and/or asset closure and related exit and disposal activities, and the benefits and costs associated with each of the foregoing; fluctuations in energy and raw material prices; management of process safety and product stewardship; changes in relationships with Dow’s significant customers and suppliers; changes in consumer preferences and demand; changes in laws and regulations, political conditions or industry development; global economic and capital markets conditions, such as inflation, market uncertainty, interest and currency exchange rates, and equity and commodity prices; business or supply disruptions; security threats, such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; weather events and natural disasters; disruptions in Dow’s information technology networks and systems; and risks related to Dow’s separation from DowDuPont Inc. such as Dow’s obligation to indemnify DuPont de Nemours, Inc. and/or Corteva, Inc. for certain liabilities.

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 Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that Dow faces. There may be other risks and uncertainties that Dow is unable to identify at this time or that Dow does not currently expect to have a material impact on its business. If any of those risks or uncertainties develops into an actual event, it could have a material adverse effect on Dow’s business. Dow Inc. and TDCC assume no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by securities and other applicable laws.

NOTE 1 – CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

Dow Inc. is the direct parent company of The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("TDCC" and together with Dow Inc., "Dow" or the "Company"). The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Dow Inc. and TDCC were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the combined Dow Inc. and TDCC Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 10-K").

As a result of the parent/subsidiary relationship between Dow Inc. and TDCC, and considering that the financial statements and disclosures of each company are substantially similar, the companies are filing a combined report for this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information reflected in the report is equally applicable to both Dow Inc. and TDCC, except where otherwise noted. Transactions between TDCC and Dow Inc. are treated as related party transactions for TDCC.

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term "Union Carbide" means Union Carbide Corporation and the term "Dow Silicones" means Dow Silicones Corporation, both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company adopted the interim period disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations." The ASU, issued in September 2022, requires disclosures intended to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs. Specifically, the amendments require buyers in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosure of rollforward information, which is required to be disclosed annually and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for disclosure of rollforward information, which should be applied prospectively. The Company expects to early adopt the annual requirement to disclose rollforward information prospectively beginning in the 2023 annual financial statements. See Note 5 for disclosures related to the Company's supplier finance program.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted at June 30, 2023

In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-02, "Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method." The amendments permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received and recognizes the net amortization and income tax credits and other income tax benefits in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments also require certain disclosures in annual and interim reporting periods about an entity's tax credit programs. The new standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and the amendments must be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating early adoption of the new guidance in 2023 and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE

Revenue Recognition

The majority of the Company's revenue is derived from product sales. The Company's revenue related to product sales was 98 percent and 99 percent for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 (99 percent for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022). The remaining sales were primarily related to the Company's insurance operations and licensing of patents and technologies. Product sales consist of sales of the Company's products to manufacturers and distributors. The Company considers order confirmations or purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply agreements, to be contracts with a customer. The Company enters into licensing arrangements in which it licenses certain rights of its patents and technology to customers. Revenue from the Company’s licenses for patents and technology is derived from sales-based royalties and licensing arrangements based on billing schedules established in each contract.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. At June 30, 2023, the Company had unfulfilled performance obligations of $867 million ($840 million at December 31, 2022) related to the licensing of technology. The Company expects revenue to be recognized for the remaining performance obligations over the next seven years.

The remaining performance obligations are for product sales that have expected durations of one year or less, product sales of materials delivered through a pipeline for which the Company has elected the right to invoice practical expedient, or variable consideration attributable to royalties for licenses of patents and technology. The Company has received advance payments from customers related to long-term supply agreements that are deferred and recognized over the life of the contract, with remaining contract terms that range up to 17 years. The Company will have rights to future consideration for revenue recognized when product is delivered to the customer. These payments are included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" and "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets include amounts related to the Company's contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are recognized in revenue when the performance obligations are met. "Contract liabilities - current" primarily reflects deferred revenue from prepayments from customers for product to be delivered in 12 months or less and royalty payments that are deferred and will be recognized in 12 months or less. "Contract liabilities - noncurrent" includes advance payments that the Company has received from customers related to long-term supply agreements and royalty payments that are deferred and recognized over the life of the contract.

Revenue recognized in the first six months of 2023 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was approximately $175 million (approximately $105 million in the first six months of 2022). In the first six months of 2023, the amount of contract assets reclassified to receivables as a result of the right to the transaction consideration becoming unconditional was approximately $45 million (insignificant in the first six months of 2022).

The following table summarizes contract assets and liabilities at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

NOTE 4 – RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET RELATED CHARGES - NET

Charges for restructuring programs and other asset related charges, which includes asset impairments, are recorded in "Restructuring and asset related charges - net" in the consolidated statements of income. For additional information on the Company's restructuring programs, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2022 10-K.

2023 Restructuring Program

On January 25, 2023, the Dow Inc. Board of Directors ("Board") approved restructuring actions to achieve the Company's structural cost improvement initiatives in response to the continued economic impact from the global recessionary environment and to enhance its agility and long-term competitiveness across the economic cycle. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded pretax restructuring charges of $541 million in the first quarter of 2023 and additional pretax restructuring charges of $8 million in the second quarter of 2023. These actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2024. The following table summarizes the activities related to the 2023 Restructuring Program, including segment information:

The Company recorded pretax restructuring charges of $549 million inception-to-date under the 2023 Restructuring Program, consisting of severance and related benefit costs of $344 million and asset write-downs and write-offs of $205 million.

Table of Contents

Severance and Related Benefit Costs

Severance benefits are provided to employees primarily under Dow's ongoing benefit arrangements and are accrued against the Corporate segment once management commits to a plan of termination. The 2023 Restructuring Program included a charge for severance and related benefit costs of $344 million for a global workforce reduction of approximately 2,000 employees, with separations continuing primarily through the end of 2024.

Asset Write-downs and Write-offs

The 2023 Restructuring Program included charges related to the write-down and write-off of assets totaling $205 million. Details regarding the asset write-downs and write-offs are as follows:

•Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure charges relate to the shutdown of certain polyurethanes assets and the write-off of other assets. The majority of the impacted facilities are expected to be shutdown by the end of 2024.

•Performance Materials & Coatings recorded charges to rationalize its asset footprint by shutting down certain coatings assets. These facilities are expected to be shutdown by the end of 2024.

•Corporate recorded charges related to the write-down of Company owned and leased, non-manufacturing facilities, primarily related to office space rationalization.

Restructuring implementation costs, primarily decommissioning and demolition activities related to asset actions, and costs associated with the Company's efficiency actions, are expected to result in additional cash expenditures of approximately $340 million, primarily through the end of 2024.

2022 Asset Related Charges

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded pretax asset related charges of $186 million due to the Russia and Ukraine conflict and the expectation that certain assets will not be recoverable. These charges included the write-down of inventory, the recording of bad debt reserves and the impairment of other assets. Asset related charges by segment were as follows: $31 million in Packaging & Specialty Plastics, $109 million in Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure, $16 million in Performance Materials & Coatings and $30 million in Corporate.

Supplier Finance Program

The Company facilitates a supply chain financing (“SCF”) program in the ordinary course of business in order to extend payment terms with vendors. Under the terms of this program, a vendor can voluntarily enter into an agreement with a participating financial intermediary to sell its receivables due from the Company. The vendor receives payment from the financial intermediary, and the Company pays the financial intermediary on the terms originally negotiated with the vendor, which generally range from 90 to 120 days. The vendor negotiates the terms of the agreements directly with the financial intermediary and the Company is not a party to that agreement. The financial intermediary may allow the participating vendor to utilize the Company’s creditworthiness in establishing credit spreads and associated costs, which may provide the vendor with more favorable terms than they would be able to secure on their own. The Company does not provide guarantees related to the SCF program. At June 30, 2023, outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the SCF program were $311 million ($267 million at December 31, 2022), included in “Accounts payable – Trade” in the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATIONS

The following tables provide earnings per share calculations for Dow Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Earnings per share of TDCC is not presented as this information is not required in financial statements of wholly owned subsidiaries.

1.Restricted stock units are considered participating securities due to the Company's practice of paying dividend equivalents on unvested shares.

2.These outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including them would have been antidilutive.

Environmental Matters

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 June 30, 2023, the Company had accrued obligations of $1,236 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs ($1,192 million at December 31, 2022), including $261 million for the remediation of Superfund sites ($244 million at December 31, 2022). 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 approximately two times that amount. 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. It is the opinion of the Company’s management, however, that the possibility is remote that costs in excess of the range disclosed will 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. As new or additional information becomes available and/or certain spending trends become known, management will evaluate such information in determination of the current estimate of environmental liability.

Litigation

Asbestos-Related Matters of Union Carbide Corporation

Each quarter, Union Carbide reviews asbestos-related claims filed, settled and dismissed, as well as average settlement and resolution costs by disease category. Union Carbide also considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of pending claims, trial experience of Union Carbide and other asbestos defendants, current spending for defense and processing costs, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, trends in the tort system, and their respective effects on expected future resolution costs. Union Carbide's management considers these factors in conjunction with the most recent actuarial study and determines whether a change in the estimate is warranted. Based on Union Carbide's review of 2023 activity, it was determined that no adjustment to the accrual was required at June 30, 2023.

Union Carbide’s total asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims and defense and processing costs was $904 million at June 30, 2023 ($947 million at December 31, 2022). At June 30, 2023, approximately 26 percent of the recorded claim liability related to pending claims and approximately 74 percent related to future claims.

Groundwater Contamination

The Company is the subject of various complaints related to alleged groundwater contamination based on decades-old sales and applications of certain agricultural chemical products ("Legacy Liabilities"). The costs associated with these Legacy Liabilities were previously covered by insurance policies that have since been depleted. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed a study of the Legacy Liabilities now deemed to be probable and

estimable based on the public reporting of sampling data and historical information to develop a reasonable estimate of the cost of pending and future claims. As a result, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $177 million, included in "Cost of sales" in the consolidated statements of income and related to Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure. At June 30, 2023, the total liability related to such alleged Legacy Liabilities settlements was $237 million, which was included in “Accrued and other current liabilities” and "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets.

Indemnifications with Corning Incorporated

Gain Contingency - Dow v. Nova Chemicals Corporation Ethylene Asset Matter

As a result of a 2019 damages judgment related to the ethylene asset matter, Nova was ordered to pay the Company $1.43 billion Canadian dollars (equivalent to approximately $1.08 billion U.S. dollars), for which the Company received payment in October 2019 and March 2020. At June 30, 2023, $323 million ($323 million at December 31, 2022) was included in "Other noncurrent obligations" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets related to the disputed portion of the damages judgment.

For equity securities calculated at net asset value per share (or its equivalent), the Company had $88 million in private market securities and $19 million in real estate at June 30, 2023 ($92 million in private market securities and $20 million in real estate at December 31, 2022). There are no redemption restrictions and the unfunded commitments on these investments were $54 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

For assets classified as Level 3 measurements, fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs including assumptions where there is little, if any, market activity. The level 3 asset value represents the fair value of an investment in a limited liability company, accounted for as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliates. There was no unfunded commitment on the investment at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

For liabilities classified as Level 3 measurements, fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs including assumptions where there is little, if any, market activity. The fair value of the Company’s accrued liability related to the guarantee of Sadara’s debt is in proportion to the Company’s 35 percent ownership interest in Sadara. The estimated fair value of the guarantee was calculated using a "with" and "without" method. The fair value of the debt was calculated "with" the guarantee less the fair value of the debt "without" the guarantee. The "with" and "without" values were calculated using a discounted cash flow method based on contractual cash flows as well as projected prepayments made on the debt by Sadara.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

As part of the 2023 Restructuring Program, the Company has or will shut down a number of manufacturing facilities, corporate facilities and miscellaneous assets around the world. In the first quarter of 2023, the assets associated with this plan were written down to zero, except for one corporate facility. The remaining corporate facility, which was classified as a level 3 measurement, was written down to a fair value of $16 million using unobservable inputs. In addition, impairments of leased, non-manufacturing facilities, which were classified as Level 3 measurements, resulted in a write-down of right-of-use assets to a fair value of $9 million using unobservable inputs. The impairment charges related to the 2023 Restructuring Program, totaling $197 million, were included in "Restructuring and asset related charges - net" in the consolidated statements of income and related to Packaging & Specialty Plastics ($1 million), Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure ($40 million), Performance Materials & Coatings ($49 million) and Corporate ($107 million).

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an adjustment to the impairment charges related to the 2023 Restructuring Program, totaling $8 million, included in "Restructuring and asset related charges - net" in the consolidated statements of income and related to Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure.

For the first six months of 2023, COS was $20.5 billion, compared with $25.3 billion in the first six months of 2022. COS in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023 decreased primarily due to lower raw material costs on lower volume and lower global energy and feedstock costs. COS as a percentage of net sales was 86.5 percent in the second quarter of 2023 (82.3 percent in the second quarter of 2022) and 88.1 percent for the first six months of 2023 (81.8 percent for the first six months of 2022).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses totaled $408 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $435 million in the second quarter of 2022.

SG&A expenses in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023 decreased due to lower performance-based compensation costs and bad debt reserve write-offs, which more than offset increases in labor costs and fringe benefit expenses tied to stock market changes.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangibles was $81 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $85 million in the second quarter of 2022. In the first six months of 2023, amortization of intangibles was $162 million, compared with $173 million in the first six months of 2022.

Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net

2023 Restructuring Program

On January 25, 2023, the Dow Inc.

Restructuring charges by segment were as follows: $1 million in Packaging & Specialty Plastics, $40 million in Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure, $49 million in Performance Materials & Coatings and $451 million in Corporate. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded additional pretax restructuring charges related to asset write-downs and write-offs of $8 million (related to Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure). These actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2024.

Table of Contents

Asset Related Charges

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Nonconsolidated Affiliates

The Company's share of equity in losses of nonconsolidated affiliates was $57 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates of $195 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to equity losses at Sadara and the Kuwait joint ventures as the result of lower local prices and demand and planned maintenance turnaround activity. The Company's share of equity in losses of nonconsolidated affiliates was $105 million for the first six months of 2023, compared with equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates of $369 million for the first six months of 2022, primarily due to lower integrated polyethylene margins and equity losses at Sadara and the Kuwait joint ventures as the result of lower local prices and demand and planned maintenance turnaround activity. Cash dividends from nonconsolidated affiliates were $162 million in the first six months of 2023, compared with $658 million in the first six months of 2022.

Sundry Income (Expense) – Net

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, Sundry income (expense) - net was income of $31 million and $29 million for Dow Inc. and TDCC, respectively, compared with income of $75 million and $78 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The second quarter of 2023 and 2022 included non-operating pension and postretirement benefit plan credits and gains on the sales of assets and investments. These were partially offset by foreign currency exchange losses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Sundry income (expense) - net was income of $110 million and $98 million for Dow Inc. and TDCC, respectively, compared with income of $223 million and $214 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The first six months of 2023 and 2022 included non-operating pension and postretirement benefit plan credits and gains on the sales of assets and investments. These were partially offset by foreign currency exchange losses.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Discount

Interest expense and amortization of debt discount was $172 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $165 million in the second quarter of 2022. Interest expense and amortization of debt discount was $357 million in the first six months of 2023, compared with $332 million in the first six months of 2022. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to higher interest rates in 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, where income is earned, the level of income relative to tax attributes and the level of equity earnings, since most earnings from the Company's equity method investments are taxed at the joint venture level. The Company reported a provision for income taxes of $210 million in the second quarter of 2023, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.5 percent for Dow Inc. and TDCC, compared with a provision of $488 million in the second quarter of 2022, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.5 percent and 22.4 percent for Dow Inc. and TDCC, respectively. For the first six months of 2023, the Company reported a provision for income taxes of $163 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.6 percent and 27.8 percent for Dow Inc. and TDCC, respectively, compared with a provision of $991 million for the first six months of 2022, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.5 percent.

The provision for income taxes in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 was primarily impacted by the geographic mix of earnings, which resulted in a higher tax rate compared with the same periods in 2022.

Net Income Available for Common Stockholder(s)

Dow Inc.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,924 million at June 30, 2023 and $3,886 million at December 31, 2022, of which $1,568 million at June 30, 2023 and $1,789 million at December 31, 2022 was held by subsidiaries in foreign countries, including U.S. territories. For each of its foreign subsidiaries, Dow makes an assertion regarding the amount of earnings intended for permanent reinvestment, with the balance available to be repatriated to the United States.

Cash held by foreign subsidiaries for permanent reinvestment is generally used to finance the subsidiaries' operational activities and future foreign investments. Dow has the ability to repatriate additional funds to the United States, which could result in an adjustment to the tax liability for foreign withholding taxes, foreign and/or U.S. state income taxes and the impact of foreign currency movements. At June 30, 2023, management believed that sufficient liquidity was available in the United States. The Company has and expects to continue repatriating certain funds from its non‑U.S. subsidiaries that are not needed to finance local operations; however, these particular repatriation activities have not and are not expected to result in a significant incremental tax liability to the Company.

The Company's cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the following table:

Dow Inc. Non-GAAP Cash Flow Measures

Free Cash Flow

Dow defines Free Cash Flow as "Cash provided by operating activities - continuing operations," less capital expenditures. Under this definition, Free Cash Flow represents the cash generated by Dow from operations after investing in its asset base. Free Cash Flow, combined with cash balances and other sources of liquidity, represents 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.

Operating EBITDA

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

Cash Flow Conversion (Operating EBITDA to Cash Flow from Operations)

Dow defines Cash Flow Conversion (Operating EBITDA to Cash Flow from Operations) 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.

These financial measures are not recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP financial measures of performance. All companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, Dow's definitions may not be consistent with the methodologies used by other companies.

Liquidity & Financial Flexibility

The Company’s primary source of incremental liquidity is cash flows from operating activities. The generation of cash from operations and the Company's ability to access capital markets is expected to meet the Company’s cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, debt maturities, contributions to pension plans, dividend distributions to stockholders, share repurchases and other needs. In addition to cash from operating activities, the Company’s current liquidity sources also include TDCC's U.S. and Euromarket commercial paper programs, committed and uncommitted credit facilities, committed accounts receivable facilities, a medium-term notes program, a U.S. retail note program (“InterNotes®”) and other debt markets.

The Company continues to maintain a strong financial position with all of its committed credit facilities undrawn and fully available at June 30, 2023. Cash and committed and available forms of liquidity were $12.8 billion at June 30, 2023. The Company also has no substantive long-term debt maturities due until 2027. As a well-known seasoned issuer the Company may issue debt at any time as an additional source of liquidity. Additional details on sources of liquidity are as follows:

Commercial Paper

TDCC issues promissory notes under its U.S. and Euromarket commercial paper programs. TDCC had no commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2023. TDCC maintains access to the commercial paper market at competitive rates. Amounts outstanding under TDCC's commercial paper programs during the period may be greater, or less than, the amount reported at the end of the period. TDCC did not issue commercial paper subsequent to June 30, 2023.

Committed Credit Facilities

The Company also has the ability to access liquidity through TDCC's committed and available credit facilities. At June 30, 2023, TDCC had total committed and available credit facilities of $8.4 billion.

Uncommitted Credit Facilities

The Company has entered into various uncommitted bilateral credit arrangements as a potential source of excess liquidity. These lines can be used to support short-term liquidity needs and for general purposes, including letters of credit. The Company had no drawdowns outstanding at June 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

Committed Accounts Receivable Facilities

In addition to the above committed credit facilities, the Company maintains a committed accounts receivable facility in the U.S. where eligible trade accounts receivable, up to $900 million, may be sold at any point in time. The Company also maintains a committed accounts receivable facility in Europe where eligible trade accounts receivable, up to €500 million, may be sold at any point in time. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company sold no receivables under the U.S. and Europe committed accounts receivable facilities (the Company sold no receivables in the first six months of 2023).

Company-Owned Life Insurance

The Company has investments in company-owned life insurance ("COLI") policies, which are recorded at their cash surrender value as of each balance sheet date. The Company has the ability to monetize its investment in its COLI policies as an additional source of liquidity. The Company had no outstanding monetization of its existing COLI policies' surrender value at June 30, 2023.

Debt

As the Company continues to maintain its strong balance sheet and financial flexibility, management is focused on net debt (a non-GAAP financial measure), as the Company believes this is the best representation of its financial leverage at this point in time. As shown in the following table, net debt is equal to total gross debt minus "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Marketable securities."

1.Included in "Other current assets" in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company may at any time repurchase certain debt securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to: the applicable terms under which any such debt securities were issued, certain internal approvals of the Company, and applicable laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdiction in which any such potential transactions might take place. This in no way obligates the Company to make any such repurchases nor should it be considered an offer to do so.

TDCC's public debt instruments and primary, private credit agreements contain, among other provisions, certain customary restrictive covenant and default provisions. TDCC's most significant debt covenant with regard to its financial position is the obligation to maintain the ratio of its consolidated indebtedness to consolidated capitalization at no greater than 0.70 to 1.00 at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of loans under the Five Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility Agreement ("Revolving Credit Agreement") equals or exceeds $500 million. The ratio of TDCC's consolidated indebtedness to consolidated capitalization as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement was 0.40 to 1.00 at June 30, 2023. Management believes TDCC was in compliance with all of its covenants and default provisions at June 30, 2023. For information on TDCC's debt covenants and default provisions, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2022 10-K. There were no material changes to the debt covenants and default provisions related to TDCC’s outstanding long-term debt and primary, private credit agreements in the first six months of 2023.

While taking into consideration the current economic environment, management expects that the Company will continue to have sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility to meet all of its business obligations.

Dividends

Dow Inc.

Dow Inc. has paid dividends on a quarterly basis since the separation from DowDuPont and expects to continue to do so, subject to approval by the Dow Inc. Board. Dividends declared by the Board align to the Company's strategy announced in 2018 of returning approximately 45 percent of Operating Net Income to shareholders through dividends and total shareholder remuneration of approximately 65 percent, when including share repurchases, over the economic cycle. The Company defines Operating Net Income, a non-GAAP measure, as "Net income available for Dow Inc. common stockholders," excluding the impact of significant items. The following table summarizes dividends declared and paid to common stockholders of record in 2023:


Dow Inc. Dividends Declared and Paid
Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Amount (per share)
February 9, 2023	February 28, 2023	March 10, 2023	$	0.70
April 13, 2023	May 31, 2023	June 9, 2023	$	0.70

TDCC

TDCC has committed to fund Dow Inc.'s dividends paid to common stockholders and share repurchases, as approved by the Dow Inc. Board, as well as certain governance expenses. Funding is accomplished through intercompany loans. TDCC's Board reviews and determines a dividend distribution to Dow Inc. to settle the intercompany loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, TDCC declared and paid a dividend to Dow Inc. of $758 million ($1,378 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023). At June 30, 2023, TDCC's intercompany loan balance with Dow Inc. was insignificant.

Share Repurchase Program

On April 13, 2022, the Dow Inc. Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $3 billion for the repurchase of the Company's common stock, with no expiration date. The Company repurchased $250 million of its common stock in the second quarter of 2023 ($375 million in the first six months of 2023). At June 30, 2023, approximately $1,675 million of the share repurchase program authorization remained available for repurchases. As previously announced, the Company intends to repurchase shares to cover dilution over the cycle. The Company may from time to time expand its share repurchases beyond dilution, based on a number of factors including macroeconomic conditions, free cash flow generation, and the Dow share price. Any share repurchases, when coupled with the Company's dividends, are intended to implement the long-term strategy of targeting shareholder remuneration of approximately 65 percent over the economic cycle.

Pension Plans

The Company has both funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans that cover employees in the United States and a number of other countries. The Company's funding policy is to contribute to funded plans when pension laws and/or economics either require or encourage funding. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company received a pension asset reversion of approximately $90 million for a portion of the excess funding of one of its plans in Europe. This plan asset reversion is included in "Other assets and liabilities, net" in the consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2022 10-K for additional information related to the Company's pension plans.

Restructuring

The actions related to the 2023 Restructuring Program are expected to result in additional cash expenditures of $273 million, primarily through 2024 and consist primarily of severance and related benefit costs. Restructuring implementation costs, primarily decommissioning and demolition activities related to asset actions, and costs associated with the Company's productivity and efficiency actions, are expected to result in additional cash expenditures of approximately $340 million, primarily through the end of 2024. Restructuring implementation and efficiency costs totaled $47 million in the second quarter of 2023.

The Company expects to incur additional costs in the future related to its restructuring activities, which will be recognized as incurred.

OTHER MATTERS

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2022 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s critical accounting policies that are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2022 10-K. Since December 31, 2022, there have been no material changes in the Company’s accounting policies that are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates.

Asbestos-Related Matters of Union Carbide Corporation

Union Carbide is and has been involved in a large number of asbestos-related suits filed primarily in state courts during the past four decades. These suits principally allege personal injury resulting from exposure to asbestos‑containing products and frequently seek both actual and punitive damages. The alleged claims primarily relate to products that Union Carbide sold in the past, alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products located on Union Carbide’s premises, and Union Carbide’s responsibility for asbestos suits filed against a former Union Carbide subsidiary, Amchem Products, Inc. (“Amchem”). In many cases, plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any compensable loss as a result of such exposure, or that injuries incurred in fact resulted from exposure to Union Carbide’s products.

Table of Contents

The table below provides information regarding asbestos-related claims pending against Union Carbide and Amchem based on criteria developed by Union Carbide and its external consultants:


Asbestos-Related Claim Activity	2023	2022
Claims unresolved at Jan 1	6,873	8,747
Claims filed	1,911	2,388
Claims settled, dismissed or otherwise resolved	(1,622)	(2,275)
Claims unresolved at Jun 30	7,162	8,860
Claimants with claims against both Union Carbide and Amchem	(1,457)	(2,106)
Individual claimants at Jun 30	5,705	6,754

Plaintiffs’ lawyers often sue numerous defendants in individual lawsuits or on behalf of numerous claimants. As a result, the damages alleged are not expressly identified as to Union Carbide, Amchem or any other particular defendant, even when specific damages are alleged with respect to a specific disease or injury. For these reasons and based upon Union Carbide’s litigation and settlement experience, Union Carbide does not consider the damages alleged against Union Carbide and Amchem to be a meaningful factor in its determination of any potential asbestos-related liability.

For additional information, see Asbestos-Related Matters of Union Carbide Corporation in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements; Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings; and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2022 10-K.
