2 Regulation G 2 The attached charts include company information that does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the company and allows investors to better evaluate the financial results of the company. These measures should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies. This data should be read in conjunction with previously published company reports on forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These reports along with reconciliations of non-gaap measures to GAAP are available on the investor center of Forward-Looking Statement During the course of this presentation, I would like to remind you that we may make forward-looking statements. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future are forward-looking statements. Some of these statements include words such as expects, anticipates, plans, intends, projects and indicates. Although they reflect our current expectations, these statements are not guarantees of future performance, but involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. We urge you to review DuPont's SEC filings, particularly its latest annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, for a discussion of some of the factors which could cause actual results to differ materially.
