Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as otherwise indicated by the context, the terms "Corporation" or "UCC" as used herein mean Union Carbide Corporation and its subsidiaries.

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,” "could," “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 the Corporation’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 UCC's products; UCC's expenses, future revenues and profitability; any sanctions, export restrictions, supply chain disruptions or increased economic uncertainty related to the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East; capital requirements and need for and availability of financing; unexpected barriers in the development of technology, including with respect to UCC’s contemplated capital and operating projects; 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 UCC'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 public sentiment and political leadership; increased concerns about plastics in the environment and lack of a circular economy for plastics at scale; changes in consumer preferences and demand; changes in laws and regulations, political conditions, tariffs and trade policies 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, logistics and supply disruptions; security threats, such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war, including the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East; weather events and natural disasters; disruptions in the Corporation’s information technology networks and systems, including the impact of cyberattacks; and, since The Dow Chemical Company ("TDCC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow Inc. (together, with TDCC and its consolidated subsidiaries, "Dow"), is the primary customer of UCC: Dow's ability to realize its commitment to carbon neutrality on the contemplated timeframe; the size of the markets for Dow’s products and services and its ability to compete in such markets; Dow's ability to develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles; the rate and degree of market acceptance of Dow’s products; and changes in relationships with Dow’s significant customers and suppliers; and any global and regional economic impacts of a pandemic or other public health-related risks and events on the Corporation’s business.

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 Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that the Corporation faces. There may be other risks and uncertainties that the Corporation is unable to identify at this time or that it 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 the Corporation’s business. The Corporation assumes 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
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Union Carbide Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Corporation" or "UCC") 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 Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 10-K").

The Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company ("TDCC"). In accordance with the accounting guidance for earnings per share, the presentation of earnings per share is not required in financial statements of wholly owned subsidiaries.

TDCC conducts its worldwide operations through global businesses and the Corporation's business activities comprise components of TDCC's global businesses rather than stand-alone operations. Further, the Corporation sells substantially all of its products to TDCC in order to simplify the customer interface process. The Corporation's Board of Directors, acting pursuant to the authority delegated to it by TDCC, functions as the Corporation's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to assess UCC's results and allocate resources for its operations. The Corporation's results are reported as a single operating segment as the consolidated statements of income are presented to the CODM without further disaggregation.

Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Transactions with the Corporation’s parent company, TDCC, and other subsidiaries of TDCC, have been reflected as related company transactions in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 12 for additional information.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Corporation adopted the annual and interim disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments expand a public business entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures, providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requiring other new disclosures. See Note 13 for applicable reportable segment disclosures required by this guidance.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted at June 30, 2025
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public business entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public business entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. Such information should allow investors to better understand an entity's performance, assess future cash flows, and compare performance over time and with other entities. The amendments will require public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, at each interim and annual reporting period, specific information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each expense caption presented on the face of the income statement, and the total amount of an entity's selling expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

SEC Final Rules Not Adopted at June 30, 2025
In March 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules under SEC Release Nos. 33-11275 and 34-99678, "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors," which requires registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. As a non-accelerated filer, most disclosure requirements would be effective for the Corporation beginning in the year ending December 31, 2027. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order to stay the final rules until various legal challenges are resolved by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ("Court of Appeals"). In March 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the final rules; however, the Court of Appeals may still rule on the matter.

NOTE 3 - REVENUE
Substantially all of the Corporation's revenue is generated by sales of products to TDCC. Products are sold to and purchased from TDCC at prices determined in accordance with the terms of an agreement between UCC and TDCC. The Corporation sells its products to TDCC to simplify the customer interface process.

The Corporation’s contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under long-term contracts for product sales and royalties with remaining contract terms that range up to 15 years. Amounts are recognized in revenue when the performance obligations for the contract are met. The Corporation has rights to additional consideration when product is delivered to the customer. The balance of contract liabilities was $28 million at June 30, 2025 ($29 million at December 31, 2024), of which $2 million ($2 million at December 31, 2024) was included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" and $26 million ($27 million at December 31, 2024) was included in "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Corporation disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by type of customer (net sales to related companies and net sales to trade customers) as presented in the consolidated statements of income and believes this disaggregation best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows. Substantially all of the product sales are made to the Corporation's parent company, TDCC, and there are no unique economic factors that affect revenue recognition and cash flows associated with these product sales.


NOTE 4 - RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET RELATED CHARGES - NET
2025 Restructuring Program
In the first quarter of 2025, the Corporation initiated targeted actions to further achieve its cost reduction initiatives in response to ongoing macroeconomic weakness, while reinforcing long-term competitiveness across the economic cycle. As a result of these actions, in the first quarter of 2025 the Corporation recorded pretax charges of $6 million for severance and related benefit costs, included in "Restructuring and asset related charges - net" in the consolidated statements of income. These actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025. The Corporation paid $1 million for severance and related benefit costs through June 30, 2025.

At June 30, 2025, $5 million for severance and related benefit costs was included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 6 - SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAM
The Corporation is a party to a supply chain financing (“SCF”) program, facilitated by TDCC, which can be used in the ordinary course of business to extend payment terms with the Corporation's 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 Corporation. The vendor receives payment from the financial intermediary, and the Corporation 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 Corporation is not a party to that agreement. The financial intermediary may allow the participating vendor to utilize TDCC'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. Neither TDCC nor the Corporation provide guarantees related to the SCF program. At June 30, 2025, the Corporation's outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the SCF program were $42 million ($36 million at December 31, 2024), included in “Accounts payable – Trade” in the consolidated balance sheets.


NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A summary of the Corporation's commitments and contingencies can be found in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

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, 2025, the Corporation had accrued obligations of $189 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs ($184 million at December 31, 2024), including $38 million for the remediation of Superfund sites ($35 million at December 31, 2024). This is management’s best estimate of the costs for remediation and restoration with respect to environmental matters for which the Corporation 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 Corporation's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. It is the opinion of the Corporation’s management that the possibility is remote that costs in excess of the range disclosed will have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Inherent uncertainties exist in these estimates primarily due to unknown environmental 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 the environmental liability.

Litigation
Asbestos-Related Matters
Each quarter, the Corporation reviews asbestos-related claims filed, settled and dismissed, as well as average settlement and resolution costs by disease category. The Corporation also considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of pending claims, trial experience of the Corporation 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. UCC management considers these factors in conjunction with the most recent actuarial study and determines whether a change in the estimate is warranted. Based on the Corporation's review of 2025 activity, it was determined that no adjustment to the accrual was required at June 30, 2025.

The Corporation’s total asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims and defense and processing costs was $745 million at June 30, 2025 ($791 million at December 31, 2024). At June 30, 2025, approximately 26 percent of the recorded claim liability related to pending claims and approximately 74 percent related to future claims.

NOTE 11 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Corporation's financial instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements. For assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 measurements, where the security is frequently traded in less active markets, fair value is based on the closing price at the end of the period; where the security is less frequently traded, fair value is based on the price a dealer would pay for the security or similar securities, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset or liability, or by using observable market data points of similar, more liquid securities to imply the price. Market inputs are obtained from well-established and recognized vendors of market data and subjected to tolerance and quality checks.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The increase in activity-based costs was primarily due to planned maintenance turnaround activity and higher energy costs.
2.Period-end balances on hand are included in inventory.
3.The increase in services and fees resulted from TDCC's periodic review of its cost allocation for global services.

Tax Sharing Agreement
The Corporation is included in TDCC's consolidated federal income tax group. Current and deferred tax expenses are calculated for the Corporation as a stand-alone group and are allocated to the group from the consolidated totals, consistent with the TDCC-UCC Tax Sharing Agreement. The amounts reported as income taxes payable or receivable represent the Corporation's payment obligation (or refundable amount) to TDCC based on a theoretical tax liability calculated on a separate return method.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Corporation recorded a decrease of approximately $220 million of its income tax and related interest receivable due to a tax audit closure. These amounts were settled through the Corporation's cash management process with TDCC and were reflected in "Related company receivables" and "Other assets and liabilities" in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

In the second quarter of 2025, TDCC sold a portion of its membership interest in its wholly owned subsidiary that owns and operates infrastructure assets at certain TDCC and UCC manufacturing sites on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Corporation previously sold its membership interest in this subsidiary to another Dow subsidiary in 2023. As a result, a portion of the noncurrent tax liability resulting from UCC's 2023 divestment became due, and $219 million previously recorded in "Other noncurrent obligations" was reclassified to "Income taxes payable" in the consolidated balances sheets at June 30, 2025.

Dividends

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Pursuant to General Instruction H(1)(a) and (b) for Form 10-Q "Omission of Information by Certain Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries," the Corporation is filing this Form 10-Q with the reduced disclosure format.

References to "TDCC" refer to The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as otherwise indicated by the context. Union Carbide Corporation (the "Corporation" or "UCC") has been a wholly owned subsidiary of TDCC since 2001. TDCC has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow Inc. since 2019.

TDCC conducts its worldwide operations through global businesses and the Corporation's business activities comprise components of TDCC's global businesses rather than stand-alone operations. Further, the Corporation sells substantially all of its products to TDCC in order to simplify the customer interface process. The Corporation's Board of Directors, acting pursuant to the authority delegated to it by TDCC, functions as the Corporation's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to assess UCC's results and allocate resources for its operations. The Corporation's results are reported as a single operating segment as the consolidated statements of income are presented to the CODM without further disaggregation.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
Total net sales were $2,013 million for the first six months of 2025 compared with $2,192 million for the first six months of 2024, a decrease of 8 percent. Net sales to related companies, principally to TDCC, were $1,962 million for the first six months of 2025 compared with $2,137 million for the first six months of 2024, a decrease of 8 percent. Selling prices to TDCC are determined in accordance with the terms of an agreement between UCC and TDCC.

Average selling price for the first six months of 2025 decreased 2 percent compared with the first six months of 2024. Price was mixed by product line, with the most significant price decreases in polyethylene, ethyleneamines, ethanolamines and acrylic monomers, partially offset by price increases primarily in oxo alcohols and vinyl acetate monomers. Volume for the first six months of 2025 decreased 6 percent compared with the first six months of 2024. Volume decreased in almost all product lines, with the most significant decreases in glycol ethers, polyethylene, polyethylene glycol and ethanolamines, due primarily to the impact of lower operating rates resulting from planned maintenance turnaround activity and the impact of a winter storm on the U.S. Gulf Coast in January 2025, and lower demand.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $2,127 million for the first six months of 2025 compared with $1,905 million for the first six months of 2024, an increase of 12 percent. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 105.7 percent for the first six months of 2025 compared with 86.9 percent for the first six months of 2024. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the impact of lower operating rates resulting from planned maintenance turnaround activity and the impact of a winter storm on the U.S. Gulf Coast in January 2025, higher feedstock and energy costs, the cost of a large planned maintenance turnaround project in Seadrift, Texas, and the related increase in activity-based costs, including fuel gas, charged by related parties.

Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net
In the first quarter of 2025, the Corporation initiated targeted actions to further achieve its cost reduction initiatives in response to ongoing macroeconomic weakness, while reinforcing long-term competitiveness across the economic cycle. As a result of these actions, in the first quarter of 2025 the Corporation recorded pretax charges of $6 million for severance and related benefit costs. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Corporation's restructuring activities and related charges.

The Corporation expects to incur additional costs in the future related to its restructuring activities, which will be recognized as incurred. The Corporation also expects to incur additional employee-related costs, including involuntary termination benefits, related to its other optimization activities. These costs cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Table of Contents

Sundry Income (Expense) – Net
Sundry income (expense) – net includes a variety of income and expense items such as charges for management services provided by TDCC, dividend income, non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit plan credits or costs, commissions and gains and losses on sales of investments and assets and on foreign currency exchange.

Sundry income (expense) – net in the first six months of 2025 was expense of $61 million compared with expense of $44 million in the first six months of 2024. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in charges for management services provided by TDCC and higher non-operating defined benefit pension costs resulting from lower expected returns on plan assets in 2025. These increases were partially offset by a dividend received from an investment in a related company. In addition, Sundry income (expense) - net in the first six months of 2024 included a $2 million gain on the sale of the Corporation's ownership interest in a TDCC joint venture to a TDCC subsidiary. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Corporation's defined benefit pension plans and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Corporation's related party transactions.

Interest Income
Interest income was $53 million for the first six months of 2025 compared with $71 million for the first six months of 2024. The decrease in interest income primarily resulted from decreased interest rates.

Provision (Credit) for Income Taxes
The Corporation is subject primarily to U.S. federal and state taxes. For the first six months of 2025, the Corporation reported a credit for income taxes of $21 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 14.7 percent, compared with a tax provision of $64 million for the first six months of 2024, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 21.8 percent. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2025 was reduced as a result of tax on a distribution between UCC and a subsidiary.

On July 4, 2025, U.S. legislation formally titled "An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14” (“The Act”) and commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law. The Act, among other things, extended key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and introduced targeted changes to the U.S. federal income tax regime. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of The Act on its results of operations and will recognize the related tax impacts in the period of enactment.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to UCC
The Corporation reported a net loss of $122 million for the first six months of 2025 compared with net income of $230 million for the first six months of 2024. The net loss reported in the first six months of 2025 was driven by lower sales volume, due primarily to the impact of lower operating rates and lower demand, higher feedstock and energy costs and costs related to planned maintenance turnaround activity.

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2025 were $114 million compared with $168 million in the first six months of 2024 as projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast were completed.

Pension Plans
As part of its ongoing pension de-risking initiatives, the Corporation initiated the termination of certain tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans which include the tax-qualified benefit obligations for substantially all employees hired after January 1, 2008, who earned benefits based on a set percentage of annual pay, plus interest. As part of the plan termination process, the Corporation will offer participants of these plans annuity or lump sum distribution options. Final asset distributions are expected to be paid from plan assets in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Corporation anticipates that these asset distributions will result in pension settlement charges, with the amounts dependent on various factors, including interest rates, plan asset returns, annuity pricing and participant distribution elections. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 10-K for additional information related to the Corporation’s pension plans.

OTHER MATTERS
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity 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 2024 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Corporation’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 2024 10-K. Since December 31, 2024, there have been no material changes in the Corporation’s accounting policies that are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates.

Asbestos-Related Matters
The Corporation is and has been involved in a large number of asbestos-related suits filed primarily in state courts during the past several 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 UCC sold in the past, alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products located on UCC’s premises, and UCC’s responsibility for asbestos suits filed against a former UCC 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 UCC’s products.

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

Asbestos-Related Claim Activity20252024
Claims unresolved at Jan 15,813 6,367 
Claims filed2,195 2,182 
Claims settled, dismissed or otherwise resolved(1,456)(2,370)
Claims unresolved at Jun 306,552 6,179 
Claimants with claims against both UCC and Amchem(1,118)(1,016)
Individual claimants at Jun 305,434 5,163 

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 UCC, 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 the Corporation's litigation and settlement experience, the Corporation does not consider the damages alleged against it and Amchem to be a meaningful factor in its determination of any potential asbestos-related liability.

For additional information, see Asbestos-Related Matters in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements; Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings; and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 10-K.

Debt Covenants and Default Provisions
The Corporation’s outstanding public debt has been issued under indentures which contain, among other provisions, covenants that the Corporation must comply with while the underlying notes are outstanding. Such covenants are typically based on the Corporation’s size and financial position and include, subject to the exceptions and qualifications contained in the indentures, obligations not to (i) allow liens on principal U.S. manufacturing facilities, (ii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to principal U.S. manufacturing facilities, or (iii) merge into or consolidate with any other entity or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets. Failure of the Corporation to comply with any of these covenants could, after the passage of any applicable grace period, result in a default under the applicable indenture which would allow the note holders to accelerate the due date of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the subject notes. Management believes the Corporation was in compliance with the covenants referred to above at June 30, 2025.

Dividends
On a quarterly basis, the Corporation's Board of Directors ("the Board") reviews and determines if there will be a dividend distribution to its parent company and sole shareholder, TDCC. The Board takes into consideration the level of earnings and cash flows, among other factors, in determining the amount of the dividend distribution. For the first six months of 2025, the Corporation declared and paid cash dividends of $28 million to TDCC ($186 million for the first six months of 2024).

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Asbestos-Related Matters
No material developments in asbestos-related matters occurred in the first six months of 2025. For a current status of asbestos-related matters, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Since December 31, 2024, there have been no material changes to the Corporation's Risk Factors, except as noted below, which was updated in the first and second quarters of 2025:

Global Economic Considerations: The Corporation operates in a global, competitive environment which gives rise to operating and market risk exposure.
The Corporation sells substantially all of its products to TDCC, which operates in a competitive, global environment, and competes worldwide for sales. Increased levels of competition could result in lower prices or lower sales volume, which could have a negative impact on the Corporation's results of operations. Sales of TDCC's products are also subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations; trade agreements; import and export controls; taxes; and duties and tariffs. The imposition of additional regulations, controls, taxes, duties and tariffs or changes to bilateral and regional trade agreements could result in lower sales for the Corporation's products, which could negatively impact the Corporation's results of operations.

In early 2025, the United States made significant changes to its long-standing trade policies and announced significant new tariffs on virtually all imported goods, with the exception of certain goods that are compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, a trade agreement which became effective in 2020. The United States subsequently announced a reduction of the new tariffs, with certain exceptions, as it negotiates trade agreements. However, the resulting average U.S. tariff rate rose to the highest level since the 1930s. In July 2025, the United States announced it will impose higher tariff rates, effective August 1, 2025, on imports from certain specified trading partners where trade negotiations have not satisfactorily progressed. In response to these actions, certain U.S. trading partners imposed or are publicly considering retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. Shifts in tariffs, import/export restrictions, trade sanctions, sector specific trade barriers, and other governmental trade actions, whether enacted by the United States or other countries, and the associated uncertainty of long-term trade policies, could impact the Corporation's sales volume, sales price, and production and other costs. Changes in trade policies may also cause disruptions to material sourcing and availability, global supply chains and logistics and access to end markets. Additionally, changes in U.S. trade policy may create shifts in global market dynamics, disrupt the long-term planning process for governments and private enterprises and result in continued global financial market volatility. The impact of these changes in trade policies and the resulting trade and market uncertainty could have a negative impact on the Corporation’s results of operations.

Economic conditions around the world, and in certain industries and geographic regions in which the Corporation and TDCC do business, also impact sales price and volume and affect the efficacy of the Corporation's supply chain. For example, long-term market uncertainty, an economic downturn driven by trade policies and inflationary pressures, higher input costs and margin compression have reduced demand for the Corporation's products, resulting in decreased sales price and volume in recent years which have yet to recover. Adverse economic conditions have also caused supply chain constraints. These factors have had a negative impact on the Corporation's results of operations. Additionally, political tensions; war, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine with the related sanctions and export restrictions; terrorism; epidemics; pandemics; or political instability in the geographic regions or industries in which UCC products are sold could further reduce demand for these products and result in decreased sales price and volume or supply chain disruptions, which could have a negative impact on UCC's results of operations.

The United States, Canada, the European Union and other countries imposed economic sanctions on Russia in response to its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. As a result, Dow suspended purchases of feedstocks and energy from Russia and stopped all investments in Russia. Additionally, Dow reduced its product offerings and is currently supplying Russia with only limited non-sanctioned goods. These actions have not had and are not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations. However, the fluidity and continuation of the conflict may result in additional economic sanctions and other impacts which could have a negative impact on Dow’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These include decreased sales; supply chain and logistics disruptions; volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; inflationary pressures on and availability of raw materials and energy, most notably in Europe; and heightened cybersecurity threats. Further, the intensity and duration of conflicts in the Middle East and potential expansion of hostilities in the region are difficult to predict and could disrupt the Corporation's supply chain operations, which could have a negative impact on the Corporation's results of operations.
