CTVA
  • Corteva reported 1H 2026 GAAP net sales of $11.28 billion, a 4% increase year-over-year, with organic sales up 2%.
  • Seed segment sales rose 4% in the first half, driven by a 3% price/mix increase led by North America & EMEA, while volume remained flat due to corn-to-soy shifts in North America.
  • Crop Protection sales increased 3% in the first half, supported by a 2% volume rise from new product demand, though price declined 3% due to Latin America dynamics.
  • Full-year 2026 guidance was raised to reflect strong first-half performance, with expected Operating EBITDA of $4.1 to $4.3 billion & Operating EPS of $3.60 to $3.80.
  • The company remains on track to complete its planned separation on October 1, 2026, with Vylor identified as the continuing operations entity.
  • Key separation milestones for the second half include board approval of capital structures, Form 10 effectiveness, & an Investor Day event on September 15, 2026.
  • GAAP income from continuing operations for 1H 2026 was $1.94 billion, while non-GAAP Operating EBITDA was $3.70 billion, up 10% from the prior year.
  • Second-quarter 2026 GAAP net sales were $6.38 billion (down 1%), with organic sales down 2% due to volume declines in Seed & Crop Protection offset by price/mix gains.
  • Management cited demand for next-gen Seed technologies & differentiated Crop Protection products as key drivers for continued margin expansion.
  • One-time separation costs include a $25 million headwind in full-year 2026 guidance, though net dis-synergies are largely expected to be offset on a run-rate basis.
