Company Update:

Delivering for Stakeholders and Executing with Strength and Resilience Amidst COVID-19

Ensuring Employee Safety

Corteva has taken a proactive approach to ensure employee safety. The Company implemented travel restrictions early and transitioned more than 50% of employees to work from home, while taking advanced safety measures for all personnel onsite.

Prioritizing Customer Service & Support

The Company continued to deliver for customers through increased use of digital capabilities and implementation of robust safety practices, executing product deliveries, as well as providing agronomic services and technical product support for new product launches via new tools.

Serving Local Communities, Globally

The Company is supporting local food banks, food pantries, and meal delivery and packaging services to fight global food insecurity - while also donating hand sanitizer and personal protective equipment and providing COVID-19 testing to support local hospitals.

Delivering on Product Pipeline

Corteva recently announced the first registration of Inatreq™ active in Europe - the latest in a series of early registrations for products with favorable environmental profiles. In Seed, increased adoption of new technology, including Qrome®and PowerCore®ULTRA, enabled Corteva to gain momentum in North America and Latin America despite a competitive and challenging environment - an example of the value the Seed pipeline delivers for farmers.

Demonstrating Supply Chain Resilience

The Company has designed its Crop Protection and Seed supply chains with reliability, flexibility and long-term competitive advantages in mind. In Crop Protection, greater than 80% of Corteva's global supply chain has sourcing flexibility with more than 65% coming from U.S. sources - and inventory along the value chain for added agility. In Seed, the Company produces products regionally, partnering with a diverse network of local growers around the world to maximize the flexibility and resilience of its supply.

Progressing Cost and Productivity Initiatives

Corteva continues to drive strong execution through ongoing progress on merger-related cost synergies and productivity commitments. Specifically in Seed, recent actions reflect a continued focus on internal efficiencies through seed field productivity, inventory management, and asset footprint optimization.

Summary of First Quarter 2020

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, reported net sales increased 16% versus the same quarter last year, with organic sales1increases of 20%.

Volumes increased 17% versus the prior-year period. Gains were driven by strong early demand for corn seed in North America attributable to favorable weather conditions in anticipation of higher planted area. Strong execution globally, particularly in EMEA3from robust early demand due to perceived supply concerns from COVID-19, further drove year-over-year volume gains. Crop Protection volume growth was due to increased sales of new products, including ArylexTMand EnlistTMherbicides and IsoclastTMinsecticide.

Local price increased 3% versus the prior-year period, with higher prices on improved mix from new seed products in North America and Latin America. Currency

and portfolio represented headwinds of 3% and 1%, respectively.

GAAP income from continuing operations after income taxes was $281 million for the first quarter. Operating EBITDA1was $794 million, a $276 million improvement versus the same period last year on a pro forma basis2.

Seed Operating EBITDA improvement reflects volume gains from increased seed deliveries, primarily in North America, pricing gains from improved mix, and continued productivity actions. Crop Protection operating EBITDA improvement reflects merger-related cost synergies and ongoing productivity.

The Company reported GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $0.36 and operating EPS1of $0.59 for the first quarter 2020.

News Release 1Q 2020

Crop Protection Summary

Crop Protection net sales were $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2020, up from approximately $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was driven by a 10% gain in volume, partially offset by a 4% decline in currency and a 1% decline related to portfolio actions. Local price was flat.

Volume gains were primarily driven by new product launches, including ArylexTMand EnlistTMherbicides and IsoclastTMinsecticide, as well as strong early demand in Latin America and EMEA. Unfavorable currency impacts were primarily due to currencies in Brazil and Europe.

The portfolio impact was driven by prior-year divestitures in North America and Asia Pacific. Pricing gains in Latin America were offset by increased grower incentive discounts in North America.

Segment operating EBITDA was $238 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $220 million in the first quarter of 2019 on a pro forma basis. Gains from new product sales and cost synergies were partially offset by higher input costs, unfavorable currency and portfolio impacts. Segment operating EBITDA margin increased 50 basis points versus the prior-year period.

Seed Summary

Seed net sales were approximately $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2020, up from $2.0 billion in the first quarter of 2019. The increase was driven by a 22% increase in volume and a 5% increase in local price, partially offset by a 2% decline in currency.

Volume gains primarily resulted from earlier deliveries in North America due to improved weather conditions and the anticipated recovery of planted area, as well as strong early demand in EMEA due to perceived supply concerns from COVID-19. The increase in local price was driven by favorable mix in both North America and Latin America, as well as changes in route to market in

EMEA. Unfavorable currency impacts were primarily due to currencies in Brazil and Europe.

Segment operating EBITDA was $581 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $325 million in the first quarter of 2019 on a pro forma basis. Volume gains in North America, favorable mix, and cost synergies and ongoing productivity improvements more than offset higher commissions, currency headwinds, and higher unit costs due to unfavorable seed yields. Segment operating EBITDA margin rose 720 basis points versus the prior-year period.

Regulation G (Non-GAAP Financial Measures)

This earnings release includes information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures may include organic sales, organic growth (including by segment and region), operating EBITDA, pro forma operating EBITDA, operating EBITDA margin, pro forma operating EBITDA margin, operating earnings per share, pro forma operating earnings per share, base tax rate, and pro forma base tax rate. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures best reflect the ongoing performance of the Company during the periods presented and provide more relevant and meaningful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and a more useful comparison of year over year results. These non-GAAP measures supplement the Company's U.S. GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures starting on page A-6 of the Financial Statement Schedules. For first quarter and prior year, these non-GAAP measures are being reconciled to a pro forma GAAP financial measure prepared and presented in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. See Article 11 Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations starting on page A-13 of the Financial Statement Schedules.

Organic sales is defined as price and volume and excludes currency and portfolio impacts. Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., income from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating benefits , net and foreign exchange gains (losses), excluding the impact of significant items (including goodwill impairment charges). Non-operating benefits, net consists of non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) credits, tax indemnification adjustments, environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy businesses and sites of Historical DuPont. Tax indemnification adjustments relate to changes in indemnification balances, as a result of the application of the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, between Corteva and Dow and/or DuPont that are recorded by the company as pre-tax income or expense. Operating EBITDA margin is defined as Operating EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Operating earnings per share are defined as "Earnings per common share from continuing operations - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items (including goodwill impairment charges), the after-tax impact of non-operating benefits, net, and the after-tax impact of amortization expense associated with intangible assets existing as of the Separation from DowDuPont. Although amortization of the Company's intangible assets is excluded from these non-GAAP measures, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in amortization of additional intangible assets. Base tax rate is defined as the effective tax rate excluding the impacts of foreign exchange gains (losses), non-operating benefits, net, amortization of intangibles as of the Separation from DowDuPont, and significant items (including goodwill impairment charges). The first quarter of 2019 is on a pro forma basis as discussed above in the paragraph 'Corteva Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information'.

Exchange Gains/Losses

The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions. The hedging program gains (losses) are largely taxable (tax deductible) in the United States (U.S.), whereas the offsetting exchange gains (losses) on the remeasurement of the net monetary asset positions are often not taxable (tax deductible) in their local jurisdictions. The net pre-tax exchange gains (losses) are recorded in other income (expense) - net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for (benefit from) income taxes on continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
