Our core differentiators – an industry-leading innovation pipeline, unmatched distribution capabilities, and supply chain agility – coupled with our focus on operational excellence and disciplined capital allocation enabled us to ﬁnish the year with double-digit sales and earnings growth, meaningful margin expansion, and a solid balance sheet. Agriculture fundamentals remain attractive with healthy farmer income levels and resilient customer demand. At the same time, global macroeconomic challenges persist. Our priorities for 2022 are straightforward and reﬂective of our operating environment – execute our balanced plan to deliver above-market growth and margin expansion, which will enable continued value creation. STRONG FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE GENERATES VALUE FOR SHAREHOLDERS 178 bps2 Operating EBITDA margin 1 expansion and 23% Operating EBITDA1AA Growth, with focused execution $2.7B Cash Flow from Operations, combined with a strong balance sheet, provides ﬂexibility $1.35B Returned to Shareholders in the form of Dividends and Share Repurchases 10% Net Sales Growth, with increases in all regions and both segments 9% Organic1 Sales Growth reﬂects strength of high-value technology pipeline 2 Differentiated Technology Driving Strong Sales Gains and Sustainable Margin Expansion Broad-based net sales and organic 1 growth, with increases across all segments and geographies, illustrated the value of Corteva's industry-leading portfolio and determination of a global team intent on capturing it. POWER OF INNOVATION DRIVES CUSTOMER DEMAND Corteva is well positioned to deliver on increasing demand for high-value technologies through the company’s balanced and diverse portfolio of technologies that address pressing customer challenges across a variety of regions and crops. The Enlist® weed control system continues to demonstrate its power as a growth catalyst, providing a proprietary seed solution through Enlist E3® 3 soybeans, together with its Enlist One® and Enlist Duo® herbicides. The company delivered $870 million of total system sales for Enlist® in 2021 – nearly double 2020 sales. Herbicide sales reached $335 million in 2021 – exceeding the company’s initial target two years ahead of plans, a testimony to customer demand. Corteva also expects demand to build in its Enlist E3® 3 soybeans, and anticipates market penetration in the U.S. of approximately 40% in 2022. In Seed, we strengthened our leadership position through the company’s price for value strategy, reﬂected by pricing execution on the ongoing strength of our technology. We continued to optimize yield advantage and leveraged our multi- channel distribution capabilities across our seed brands to bring greater choice and value to farmers. This focus enabled organic1 growth and share gains in Pioneer® brand corn and soybeans, coupled with Brevant™ brand corn in the U.S. during the year. Crop Protection gains in 2021 were driven by increased penetration of new products including Enlist®, Arylex™, and Isoclast™ – with sales from new product launches exceeding $1.4 billion, which represented a more than 40% increase year over year. We also continue to have a robust new and differentiated Crop Protection pipeline, with 220 registration approvals in 66 countries in 2021. Broadly, our pipeline and the global innovation capabilities behind it are bolstering the growth we are delivering across our portfolio, while driving customer demand for solutions that are locally adapted. We delivered on our commitment to margin expansion in the face of industry-wide supply chain disruptions and persistent cost inﬂation. Strong pricing and volume gains on our technology more than offset market-driven cost headwinds and we continued to progress cost actions. Meeting Demand for Sustainable Solutions Sustainable innovation remains core to our business model as customers continue to demand improved outcomes. We are building on germplasm advantages in seed and technology leadership positions in green chemistry. Additionally, we are making important progress in emerging sectors, such as biologicals – building on the company’s crop protection strengths and know-how to develop a robust set of innovative, sustainable solutions for farmers. Our proprietary digital technologies are helping to advance sustainable agriculture across both segments as an important aspect of our integrated customer offering. LandVisor™ solution is a primary example of this integrated solutions approach that brings together crop protection products and digital technologies. LandVisor™ solution delivers insights using remote sensing imagery and data analytics technology to provide product, timing and rate recommendations to ranchers and land managers so they can manage and identify the most impactful areas to target with Corteva crop protection applications. Broadly, our digital technologies also serve as enablers of our Research and Development (R&D) process and pipeline, which supports the company’s efforts to develop and launch a broader range of sustainable solutions for customers globally. STRENGTHENING SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION ADVANTAGES Corteva continues to grow its position in key market sectors at the forefront of sustainable agriculture. The company has established and expanded its biologicals portfolio, which is focused on developing biostimulants, biocontrol and pheromone products. Corteva’s focused investments in biological solutions have built upon the company’s innovation strengths and expertise, and have centered on enabling a robust set of novel and needed technologies for farmers that include both internally developed innovation together with multiple, strategic collaborations and agreements that help to accelerate the pace of advancements. An example of this progress includes Utrisha™ N nutrient efficiency optimizer, the ﬁrst technology launch from the biologicals portfolio. Introduced for the 2022 growing season, Utrisha™ N is designed to keep farms productive and healthy by supplying nitrogen throughout the crop cycle in an effective and controlled way. Disciplined Capital Strategy Enabling Growth and Value-Creation Objectives We executed on our capital allocation strategy which focuses on disciplined investment in growth opportunities while delivering capital returns to shareholders. With a strong balance sheet and improved free cash ﬂow, we increased returns to shareholders – including $1.35 billion returned in 2021 through dividends and share repurchases. We expect to return between $1.0 and $1.5 billion to shareholders in 2022, while continuing to invest for long-term growth. These targets further reinforce our continued commitment to shareholder remuneration. 3 Prioritizing Enterprise Health, Safety, Diversity and Inclusion Corteva has proven resilient as the pandemic has changed the way people work and live. Our priority from the beginning has focused on protecting the health and wellbeing of our employees, while preserving supply chains and supporting farmers to ensure food security. We also strive to support an agricultural ecosystem that nurtures the planet, while driving business results. We continue to prioritize inclusion, diversity and equity, while fostering belonging and embracing differences within our organization and industry – helping develop an ample bench of talent, stronger collaboration, and deeper connections with the communities we serve. This is reﬂected in the focused progress we continue to target around our global commitments to inclusion, diversity and equity. Strong Set-up for Future Earnings Growth As economies around the world continue to recover, we expect record demand for grain to keep pressure on ending stock levels which will support commodity prices. We believe growers will prioritize technology investments to maximize their returns. While we also recognize that global conditions are likely to remain a challenge, pricing and productivity remain critical to offset that impact. We are committed to unlocking value at a faster pace, while continuing to do what Corteva does best – launching innovative products, forging strong customer relationships, and maintaining focus on execution. Thank you for your support as Corteva continues to deliver value for all stakeholders, building a stronger agriculture system for our world. Gregory R.

BUILDING ON GREEN CHEMISTRY ADVANTAGES With more U.S. EPA Green Chemistry Challenge Awards than any other agriculture company, Corteva is an industry leader in innovating, manufacturing, and launching green chemistry innovation. Our portfolio of green chemistries includes new Crop Protection launches with favorable environmental proﬁles and those that enable farmers to reduce the amount of product needed. For example, Arylex,™ which is the ﬁrst in a completely new class of chemistry discovered by researchers at Corteva, and Rinskor™ – a recipient of multiple green chemistry awards – have been formulated to be effective at low use rates and in a range of seasons. We work through the value chain to increase consumer choice, innovate solutions that address pressing agriculture and environmental challenges, and promote transparency across the global food system. At the same time, we plan for the future by working both within our company on product innovation and with farmers to adopt sustainable practices while also forging partnerships with organizations worldwide to accelerate progress through innovation and collaboration. STRENGTHENING LEADERSHIP IN PLANT BREEDING In 2021, Corteva furthered its efforts to enhance biodiversity – a foundational component to strengthen soil health and sustainable land use. Corteva maintains the largest and most diverse pool of maize genetics, enabling the company’s plant breeders to tailor seed products to local needs and help support genetic diversity. Corteva is also a leader in the industry with innovative technologies, such as predictive analytics and biotechnology, for genetically modiﬁed and gene-edited crops, which contribute to climate-positive solutions and a more resilient food system. 7 CORTEVA ANNUAL REPORT 2021 EMPOWERING EMPLOYEES AND EXPANDING THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURE At Corteva, we view Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (ID&E) as foundational to achieving our full potential as a company. Since launching our ID&E goals, we have continued to establish the building blocks for driving progress in this priority area. At the same time, the company collaborates with organizations around the world that play important roles in the food value chain. ADVANCING OUR COMMITMENTS TO INCLUSION, DIVERSITY AND EQUITY As part of our goals, we remain focused on building an internal culture of belonging and improving the diversity of our employee base, while partnering with farmers and other industry stakeholders to address equity challenges in agriculture. In 2021, we rolled out ID&E learning modules internally, implemented our ﬁrst pay equity analysis, continued work to include diverse suppliers and small businesses in our supply base, and launched efforts to prompt dialogue and understanding across our industry. Initiatives such as these contributed to an increase in female representation within our workforce, and we will continue to focus on driving progress against our other representation goals. 8 Corteva engages in global collaborations, such as those with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Agricultural Cooperative Development Inter- national (ACDI)/Volunteers in Overseas Cooperative Assistance (VOCA), One Acre Fund, John Deere and Land O’Lakes, which are focused on increasing the incomes, productivity, and sustainable farming practices of smallholder farmers. Broadly, these collaborations leverage millions in agricultural development funding to grow the company’s business in emerging markets, while reducing risk and enriching the lives of smallholder farmers and their communities. For example, Corteva collaborated with USAID and ACDI/VOCA in Tanzania between 2011 and 2021 to increase the productivity of 600,000 smallholder farmers by 300% on average. Corteva’s partnerships leverage our signiﬁcant innovation advantages, scale and unique expertise of Corteva’s world-class employees to devise solutions to pressing agriculture challenges such as food security, while promoting equity in agriculture. PARTNERING TO ADVANCE THE FUTURE OF FARMING Corteva continues to engage in research collaborations to maximize the impact of the company’s innovations on improving agricultural productivity and sustainability. In the case of gene editing, Corteva is working with the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) and USDA Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS), as well as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to jointly develop improved crops using CRISPR technology. This collaboration leverages the genetics base that Corteva has in its germplasm, together with the company’s data science capabilities. There are multiple projects in sub-Saharan Africa that range from addressing disease impacting maize production by utilizing CRISPR technology to enable climate- and disease-resilient corn varieties to improving the harvestability, disease tolerance and shelf life of crops often considered the “orphan” crops of sub-Saharan Africa. 2021 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549 FORM 10-K (Mark One) ☒ ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 or 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 OR ☐ TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 or 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 ____________________________________________________________________________ Commission File Number 001-38710 Corteva, Inc.

See Note 24 - details on the location of the company's sales and On June 1, 2019, Corteva, Inc. became an independent, publicly traded company through the completed separation (the business of DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (formerly known as DowDuPont Inc.) (“DuPont” or “Separation”) of the agriculturet "DowDuPont"). The separation was effectuat ed through a pro rata distribution (the “Corteva Distribution”) of all of the then- issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Corteva, Inc. t As a result of the Internal Reorganization (defined below), on May 31, 2019, EID was contributed to Corteva, Inc. and, as a result, Corteva, Inc. owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of EID. Prior to March 31, 2019, Corteva, Inc. had engaged in no business operations and had no assets or liabilities of any kind, other than those incident to its forma tion. ff EID continues to be a reporting company and is deemed to be the predecessor to Corteva, Inc., with the historical results of EID to be deemed the historical results of Corteva for periods prior to and including May 31, 2019. Shares of EID preferred stock, $3.50 Series and $4.50 Series, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Separation remain issued and outstanding and were unaffected by the Separation. Internal Reorganizations and Business Separations Subsequent to the Merger, Historical Dow and EID engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps to realign their businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products (collectively, the "Business Separations”). On April 1, 2019, DowDuPont completed the separation of its materials science business into a separate and independent public company by way of a distribution of Dow through a pro rata dividend in-kind of all of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Dow’s common stock, to holders of DowDuPont's common stock, as of the close of business on March 21, 2019 (the “Dow Distribution” and together with the Corteva Distribution, the “Distributions”). t 3 ITEM 1. BUSINESS, continued Part I Prior to the Dow Distribution, Historical Dow conveyed or transferred the assets and liabilities aligned with Historical Dow’s agriculture business to separate legal entities (“Dow Ag Entities”) and the assets and liabilities associated with its specialty products business to separate legal entities (the “Dow SP Entities”). On April 1, 2019, Dow Ag Entities and the Dow SP Entities were transferred and conveyed to DowDuPont. In furtherance of the Business Separations, EID engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps (the “Internal Reorganization” and the "Business Realignment," respectively) to realign its businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products. As part of the Internal Reorganization: • • • • the assets and liabilities aligned with EID’s materials science business ("EID ECP"), were transferred or conveyed to separate legal entities that were ultimately conveyed by DowDuPont to Dow on April 1, 2019; the assets and liabilities aligned with EID’s specialty products business were transferred or conveyed to separate legal entities that were ultimately distributed to DowDuPont ("EID Specialty Products Entities") on May 1, 2019; on May 2, 2019, DowDuPont conveyed Dow Ag Entities to EID and in connection with the foregoing, EID issued additional shares of its common stock to DowDuPont; and on May 31, 2019, DowDuPont contributed EID to Corteva, Inc. On May 6, 2019, the Board of Directors of DowDuPont approved the distribution of all the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Corteva, Inc., then a wholly-owned subsidiary of DowDuPont, to DowDuPont stockholders. On June 1, 2019, DowDuPont completed the Separation. Corteva, Inc.'s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "CTVA" on June 3, 2019. As a result of the Business Realignment and the Internal Reorganization discussed above, Corteva owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of EID. EID is a subsidiary of Corteva, Inc. and continues to be a reporting company, subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The company has also secured cultivation authorizations of ENLIST E3® soybeans and ENLIST™ corn in Argentina, Brazil, and North America In 2020, Corteva signed an agreement with J.G. Boswell Company to purchase the remaining 46.5 percent interest in PhytoGen® Seed Company, LLC – a joint venturet between the two companies. With a 100% ownership position in PhytoGen® Seed Company, LLC, Corteva became the sole owner of the intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, proprietary germplasm and information, as well as know-how. In 2020, Corteva announced the launch of Brevant™ seeds in the U.S. for sale exclusively through retail locations in the Midwest and Eastern Corn Belt starting with 2021 planting. As a global brand, Brevant™ seeds, which was originally launched ers a greater choice with a high-performance in Latin America, Canada, and select European countries in 2018, provides farmff retail solution. Brevant™ provides multiple seed offerings including corn, soybeans, sunflowers and canola. In connection with the validation of breeding plans and large-scale product development timelines focused on rapidly ramping up differentiated technology solutions, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the company began accelerating the ramp up ou f the Enlist E3TM trait platform in the company’s soybean portfolio mix across all brands, including Pioneer® brands, over the subsequent five years. During the ramp-up period, the company is expected to significantly reduce the volume of products with the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits beginning in 2021, with expected minimal use of the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® traits thereafter for the remaining term of the non-exclusive license with the Monsanto Company. Refer to Prepaid Royalties within the Critical Accounting Estimates section on page 63 for additional information. In 2019, Corteva received import authorization from China for the Conkesta® soybean insect control trait, which was a necessary step for commercialization of Conkesta E3® soybeans in Latin America. Conkesta E3® soybeans received regulatory approvals and was commercialized in the second half of 2021. In 2019, the company launched Qrome® corn products in U.S. Pioneer® brands. Qrome® products offer growers high yield potential insect control options to help drive productivity for their operations by combining top-tier genetics and strong defensive traits. In 2020, Qrome® products were expanded to the U.S. multi-channel and Canada Pioneer® brands. 6 ITEM 1. BUSINESS, continued Part I ff d® canola production system in North America from BASF in 2019.

Clearfield® canola in the Pioneer® and Nexera® brands were already highly establia shed in the market and integrated into the company’s breeding, production and commercial processes. In addition, the company creates digital tools that provide both farmers and internal sales resources with platforms to support agronomic and operational decision-making, particularly in the areas of product selection, targeted crop protection application, and financial analysis, designed to help maximize yield and profitabila ity. on Distributi tt The seed segment has a diverse worldwide network which markets and distributes the company’s brands to customers, primarily through the company’s multi-channel, multi-brand strategy, which includes four differentiated channels: Pioneer agency model, regional brands, retail brands, as well as third parties through licensing and distribution channels. ff The Pioneer agency model is unique to Corteva and represents sales made directly to farmers via independent sales representatives. Through this agency model, the company interacts directly with farmers at multiple points in the growing season, from prior to planting all the way through harvest. These regular interactions enable the company to provide the advice and service farmff ers need while giving the company real-time insights into the customers’ future ordering decisions. The company’s regional brands connect to customers through regional brand employees and farmer-dealer networks. Retail brands provide a one-stop shop for seed and chemistry solutions and may include sales to distributors, agricultural cooperatives, and dealers. Finally, Corteva out-licenses traits and germplasm to third parties. aw Materials Key Re The key raw materials for seed include corn and soybean seeds. To produce high-quality seeds, the company contracts with third-party growers globally. Corteva focuses on production close to the customer to provide the seed product, which is suitable for that region and its weed, insect and disease challenges, weather, soil and other conditions. The company conditions and packages the seeds using its own plants and third-party contract manufacturers. By striking a balance between owning production facility assets directly and contracting with third-party growers, the company believes it is best able to maintain flexibility to react to demand changes unique to each geographya while minimizing costs. The company seeks to collaborate with strategic seed growers and share its digital agronomy and product management knowledge with them. The company’s third- party growers are an important part of its supply chain. Corteva provides them with rigorous training, planning tools and access to a system that tests and advances products matched to specific geographic needs. The seed segment's R&D and supply chain groups work seamlessly to select and maintain product characteristics that enhance the quality of its seed products and solutions. Corteva focuses on customer-driven innovation to deliver superior germplasm and trait technologies. With its large sets of digitized data and its seed field management solution, the company can manage its fiel ff d operations efficiently and draw insights from data quickly and effectively. This allows the company’s supply chain to react quickly to changing customer needs and provides R&D with tremendous amounts of data to analyze and incorporate into resource allocation decisions. The company continues to invest in and build capabilities that drive value via data digitization and analytics that enable it to create an even more responsive and efficient answer to customer needs. tion rotPP ectt Crop Po The crop protection segment serves the global agricultural input industry with products that protect against weeds, insects and other pests, and disease, and that improve overall crop health both above and below ground via nitrogen management and seed- applied technologies. The company offers crop protection solutions that provide farmers the tools they need to improve productivity and profitability, and help keep fieff lds free of weeds, insects and diseases. The company is a leader in global herbicides, insecticides, nitrogen stabila izers and pasture and range management herbicides. 7 ITEM 1.

Approximately 1% of the workforce is unionized in the United States and another 11% participate in work councils and collective bargaining arrangements outside the United States. In 2021, the company did not experience any work stoppages dued to strike or lockouts. Safety. Living safely is one of the company’s core values by which the company manages its business. The company has implemented safety programs and management practices to promote a culture of safety to protect its employees, as well as the qualifications and certifications for certain environment. This includes required trainings for employees, as well as specificff operational employees. Diversity. The company has a robust inclusion, diversity, and equity (“ID&E”) vision and strategy, based upon the belief that embracing diversity and inclusion benefits the company by creating a workforce with a greater variety of skills and perspectives as a result of their differentiated backgrounds and experiences. Specific ID&E initiatives are identified and tracked to create a culture of belonging where a diverse population of employees are attracted, retained, and engaged. Management is expected to support specific diversity initiatives forff , in order to build a more a representative workforce. Critical to creating this environment are company-sponsored employee business resource groups objectives of both the employee and the company, including community (“BRGs”) that support and promote certain mutual engagement and the professional development of employees. The BRGs provide a space where employees can foster connections within a supportive environment. As of the 2021 year end, the company had eight global BRGs, each led by a member of the company’s senior leadership: Disabila ity Awareness Network; Global African Heritage Alliance; Growing Asian Impact Network; Latin Network; Pride (LGBTQ+); Professional Learning Acceleration Network; Veteran’s Network; and Women’s Inclusion Network. s and business, as applicablea their respective geographie ff t The company is focused on recruitment of diverse candidates and on internal talent development of its diverse leaders so that they can advance their careers and move into leadership positions within the company.

BUSINESS, continued Part I Regulatory Considerations Our seed and crop protection products and operations are subject to certain approval procedures, manufacturing requirements and environmental protection laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We evaluate and test products throughout the research and development phases, and each new technology undergoes furthe studies and tests to validate that the product can be used effectively and that use of the technology is safe for humans and animals and does not cause undue harm to the environment when used in accordance with the directions for use. r rigorous scientificff ff The regulatory approval processes and procedures globally are becoming increasingly more complex, which has resulted in additional testing needs, difficult to predict and longer approva l timelines, and higher development and maintenance costs. We continue to invest on an ongoing basis to keep dossiers current, respond to regulators and meet evolving regulatory standards required by global regulatory frameworks.

The increase in timelines for regulatory related to our products and their use may materially impact our financial performanc approvals may result in the company not achieving its sustainability targets, or its anticipated returns on research and development investments. a ff t ii e (“GMOs”) ion of Genetically Mll odiMM fii ed Organisms Regulat Genetically modified seed products are subject to regulatory approval processes and procedures. For example, in the United States, the Coordinated Framework for Regulation of Biotechnology governs genetically modified organisms, using existing U.S. legislation and legal authorities on food, feed and environmental safety. Plant GMOs are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (the “USDA”) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (the “APHIS”) under the Plant Protection Act. The APHIS assesses the trait to ensure that the trait will not pose a plant pest and is not a noxious weed. GMOs in food are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FFDCA”). The FDA ensures that the food is safe for food and feed. Pesticides and microorganisms containing GMOs are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (the “FIFRA”)RR and the Toxic Substances Control Act. The EPA assesses the trait or the stack containing the traits to ensure that there is no unreasonable adverse effecff t to the environment. Other countries also have rigorous approval processes, procedures, and scientific testing requirements forff the cultivation or import of genetically modified seed products. In the United States and other countries that have functioning regulatory systems, a rigorous scientific review is conducted by these agencies to demonstrate that genetically modified products are as safe as traditionally bred, non-biotech/GMO counterparts for food, feed and the environment. Various countries in EMEA, Latin America, and Asia have banned GMOs entirely. e ion of Crop Protection Productstt Regulat Globally, manufacturers of crop protection products, including herbicides, fungicides and insecticides are required to submit an application/dossier and obtain government regulatory approval prior to selling products in a particular country.rr In the United States, the EPA is responsible for registering and overseeing the approval and marketing of pesticides, pursuant to the FIFRA,RR the FFDCA and the Food Quality Protection Act. Also, the USDA and the FDA monitor levels of pesticide residue that is allowed on or in crops. Already registered pesticides are required to be re-registered every 15 years to ensure that those products continue to meet the rigorous safety standards set by the regulators. The EPA reevaluates pesticide tolerances at least every 10 years, taking into account ecological and human health risks, in addition to cumulative risks as a result of multiple routes of and sources of exposure. As of January 2rr 022, before registering any new conventional pesticide active ingredient, the EPA will evaluate the potential effects on listed species and their designated critical habitats under the Endangered Species Act (the “ESA”). EPA also has initiated such evaluations for certain other active ingredients in response to existing or threatened litigation. Where the EPA determines that a pesticide in the registration and re-evaluation processes “may affect” a listed species, the EPA must consult l, registration, and with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service. As part of its approva reevaluation processes, the EPA may impose certain use restrictions on crop protection products under the ESA. Under the citizen suit provisions, the ESA also includes citizen suit provisions that allow the public to bring suit in court against fede ral agencies when they believe a listed species is not being adequately protected by the EPA. a ff The company's European operations are subject to the European chemical regulation REACH (“Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals”) and the CLP (“Classification, Label ing, and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures”). Other jurisdictions also have rigorous approval processes, procedures and scientific testing requirements for the approval of crop protection products. We continue to monitor legislative and regulatory developments related to pollution and other environmental health and safetff y matters. a tt European Farm to Fork Strategy In October 2021, a majority of the European Parliament adopted the Farm to Fork Strategy setting forth the European Union’s plans to increase organic farming. As part of this strategy, the E.U. Commission has set aggressive 2030 targets to reduce by 50% the use and risk of chemical pesticides and the use of more hazardous pesticides by 50%. Additionally, as part of this strategy, the E.U. Commission is targeting having 25% of the European Union’s agricultural land under organic farff ming by 11 ITEM 1.

Corteva uses advanced breeding technologies to produce hybrids and varieties with superior performance in farmff lds and uses biotechnology to introduce traits that enhance specific characteristics of its crops. Corteva also uses advanced analytics, software tools, mobile communications and new planting and monitoring equipment to provide agronomic recommendations to growers. Additionally, Corteva conducts research into biological and chemical products to protect farmers’ crops from pests and diseases and enhance plant productivity. ers’ fieff t ity to market under regulatory frameworks, competition, inabila New product concepts may be abaa ndoned for many reasons, including greater anticipated development costs, technical ity to difficulties, lack of efficff acy, regulatory obstacles or inabila prove the original concept, lack of demand and the need to divert focus, from time to time, to other initiatives with perceived opportunities for better returns. The processes of active ingredient development or discovery, breeding, biotechnology trait discovery and development and trait integration are lengthy, and a very small percentage of the chemicals, genes and germplasm Corteva tests is selected for commercialization. Furthermore, the length of time and the risk associated with the breeding and biotech pipelines are interlinked because both are required as a package for commercial success in markets where biotech traits are approved for growers. For example, the commercial transition to the company’s Enlist E3™ and Conkesta E3® soybean technologies, which are packaged with its Enlist One® and Enlist Duo® herbicides, is expected to take the company several years to complete. In countries where biotech traits are not approved forff widespread use, Corteva’s seed sales depend on the quality of its germplasm. While initial commercialization efforts have been promising, there are no guarantees that anticipated levels of product acceptability within Corteva's markets will be achieved or that higher quality products will not be developed by Corteva's competitors in the futff ure. t Speed in discovering, developing, protecting and responding to new technologies, including new technology-based distribution channels that could facff ilitate Corteva’s ability to engage with customers and end users, and bringing related products to market is a significant competitive advantage. Commercial success frequently depends on being the first company to the market, and many of Corteva’s competitors are also making considerable investments in similar new biotechnology products, improved germplasm products, biological and chemical products and agronomic recommendation products. Corteva may not be able to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals for some of its products, including its seed and crop protection products, which could restrict its ability to sell those products in some markets. Regulatory and legislative requirements affect the development, manufacture and distribution of Corteva’s products, including the testing and planting of seeds containing Corteva’s biotechnology traits and the import of crops grown from those seeds, and non-compliance can harm Corteva’s sales and profitability. Seed products incorporating biotechnology derived traits and crop protection products must be extensively tested for safety, efficacy and environmental impact before they can be registered forff production, use, sale or commercialization in a given market. In certain jurisdictions, Corteva must periodically renew its approvals for both biotechnology and crop protection products, which typically require Corteva to demonstrate compliance with then-current standards which generally are more stringent since the prior registration. The regulatory approvals process is lengthy, costly, complex and in some markets unpredictable, with requirements that can vary by product, technology, industry and country. The regulatory approvals process for products that incorporate novel modes of action or new technologies can be particularly unpredictable and uncertain due to the then-current state of regulatory guidelines and objectives, as well as governmental policy considerations and non- governmental organization and other stakeholder considerations. The uncertainty and increased length of regulatory approvals may reduce Corteva’s returnt ity, or sustainability metrics. on its research and development investments, and impede its abila ity to meet sales, profitabila a crop protection product not approved in the Furthermore, the detection of biotechnology traits or chemical residues fromff country in which Corteva sells or cultivates its product, or in a country to which Corteva imports its product, may affect Corteva’s ability to supply its products or export its products, or even result in crop destruction, product recalls or trade disruption, which could result in lawsuits and termination of licenses related to biotechnology traits and raw material supply agreements. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals to import, including those related to the importation of crops grown from 13 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued Part I seeds containing certain traits or treated with specific chemicals, may influence the rate of adoption of new products in globally traded crops. Additionally, the regulatory environment may be impacted by the activities of non-governmental organizations and special interest groups and stakeholder reaction to actual or perceived impacts of new and existing technology, products or processes on safety, health and the environment. Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals requires submitting a significant amount of information and data, which may require participation from technology providers. Regulatory standards and trial procedures are continuously changing. In addition, Corteva has seen an increase in recent years in the number of lawsuits filed by those who identify themselves as public or environmental interest groups seeking to invalidate pesticide product registrations and/or challenge the way federal or state governmental entities apply the rules and regulations governing pesticide produce use. The pace of change together with the lack of regulatory harmony could result in unintended noncompliance. Responding to these al expenditures or require changes in changes and meeting existing and new requirements may involve significant costs or capita ls could have business practice that could result in reduced profitability. The failure to receive necessary permits or approva near- and long-term effecff ts on Corteva’s ability to produce and sell some current and future products. a ff The degree of public understanding and acceptance or perceived public acceptance of Corteva’s biotechnology and other agricultural products and technologies can affect Corteva’s sales and results of operations by affecting planting approvals, regulatory requirements and customer purchase decisions. Concerns and claims regarding the safe use of seeds with biotechnology traits and crop protection products in general, their potential impact on health and the environment, and the perceived impacts of biotechnology on health and the environment, reflect a growing trend in societal demands for increasing levels of product safety and environmental protection. These include concerns and claims that increased use of crop protection products, drift, inversion, volatilization and the use of biotechnology traits meant to reduce the resistance of weeds or pests to control by crop protection products, could increase or accelerate such resistance and otherwise negatively impact health and the environment. These and other concerns could manifest themselves in stockholder proposals, preferred purchasing, delays or failures in obtaining or retaining regulatory approvals, delayed product launches, lack of market acceptance, product discontinuation, continued pressure for and adoption of more stringent regulatory intervention and litigation, termination of raw material supply agreements and legal claims. These and other concerns could also influence public perceptions, the viabila ity or continued sales of certain of Corteva’s products, Corteva’s reputation and the cost to comply with regulations. As a result, such concerns could have a material adverse effect Corteva’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. ff Changes in agricultural and related policies of governments and international organizations may prove unfavorable. ers, which may inhibit the growth in these In many markets there are various pressures to reduce government subsidies to farmff markets of products used in agriculture. In addition, government programs that create incentives for farmers may be modified or discontinued. However, it is difficult to predict accurately whether, and if so when, such changes will occur. Corteva expects that the policies of governments and international organizations will continue to affect the planting choices made by growers as well as the income available to growers to purchase products used in agriculture and, accordingly, the operating results of the agriculture industry. t Corteva participates in an industry that is highly competitive and has undergone consolidation, which could increase competitive pressures. Corteva currently facff es significant competition in the markets in which it operates. In most segments of the market, the number of products available to the grower is steadily increasing as new products are introduced. At the same time, certain products are coming off patent and are thus available to generic manufacturers for production and commercialization. Additionally, data analytic tools and web-based new direct purchase models offer increased transparency and comparabila ity, which creates price pressures. Corteva cannot predict the pricing or promotional actions of its competitors. Aggressive marketing or pricing by Corteva’s competitors could adversely affect Corteva’s business, results of operations and financial conditions. As a result, Corteva continues to face significant competitive challenges. Corteva’s business may be materially affected by competition from manufacturers of generic products. Competition from manufacturers of generic products is a challenge for Corteva’s branded products around the world, and the property rights can have a significant adverse effect on Corteva’s revenues. The date at which loss or expiration of intellectual t 14 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued Part I generic competition commences may be different from the date that the patent or regulatory exclusivity expires. However, upon the loss or expiration of patent protection for one of Corteva’s products or of a product that Corteva licenses, or upon the “at- risk” launch (despite pending patent infringement litigation against the generic product) by a generic manufacturer of a generic version of one of Corteva’s patented products or of a product that Corteva licenses, Corteva can lose a major portion of revenues for that product, which can have a material adverse effect on Corteva’s business. The costs of complying with evolving regulatory requirements could negatively impact Corteva’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Actual or alleged violations of environmental laws or permit requirements could result in restrictions or prohibitions on plant operations, substantial civil or criminal sanctions, as well as the assessment of strict liability and/or joint and several liability. Corteva is subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to pollution, protection of the environment, waste water discharges, the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials and the use of genetically modified seeds and crop protection active ingredients by growers. Environmental and health and safety laws, regulations and standards expose Corteva to the risk of substantial costs and liabilities, including liabilities associated with Corteva’s business and the discontinued and divested businesses and operations businesses like Corteva’s, soil and groundwater contamination has occurred in the past at certain sites of EID. As is typical forff and may be identified at other sites in the future . Disposal of waste from Corteva’s business at off-site locations also exposes it to potential remediation costs. Consistent with past practice, Corteva is continuing to monitor, investigate and remediate soil and groundwater contamination at several of these sites. ff al expenditures relating to environmental, health or safety matters are subject Costs and capita to evolving regulatory requirements and depend on the timing of the promulgation and enforcement of specific standards which impose the requirements. Moreover, changes in environmental regulations, including those related to climate change, could inhibit or interrupt Corteva’s operations, or require modifications to its facff ilities in the future. Accordingly, environmental, health or safety regulatory matters could result in significant unanticipated costs or liabilities, which may be materially higher than Corteva’s accruals. Climate change and unpredictable seasonal and weather factors could impact Corteva’s sales and earnings. The agriculturet period to period. industry is subject to seasonal and weather factors, which can vary unpredictably fromff Weather factors can affect the presence of disease and pests on a regional basis and, accordingly, can positively or adversely affect the demand for crop protection products, including the mix of products used or the level of returns. The weather also can affeff ct the quality, volume and cost of seed produced forff sale as well as demand and product mix. Seed yields can be higher or lower than planned, which could lead to higher inventory and related write-offs. Climate change may increase the frequency or heat waves, droughts and other events that could affect the quality, volume intensity of extreme weather such as storms, floods, and cost of seed produced forff sale as well as demand and product mix. Climate change may also affect the availability and suitabila shifts in the average growing season and types of crops produced. land and contribute to unpredictablea ity of arablea ff t Corteva’s business is subject to various competition and antitrust, rules and regulations around the world, and as the size of its business grows, scrutiny of its business by legislators and regulators in these areas may intensify. ff On July 9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order promoting competition in the American economy. The order r examination and efforts by U.S. regulatory agencies to avoid market concentrations for agricultural inputs, encouraged furthe s. The executive order also directs the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to take that could challenge the survival of family farmff action to ensure that the intellectual property system, while still incentivizing innovation, does not also unnecessarily reduce competition in seed and other agricultural input markets beyond what is reasonably contemplated by the U.S. Patent Act and propose strategies forff property, antitrust, and other relevant laws. While the ultimate impact of the executive order will depend on the actions ultimately resulting from the U.S. regulatory authorities, actions taken by such authorities may increase the regulation and regulatory costs associated with the agriculturet industry in the future and restrict the company from pursuing certain growth opportunities, including mergers and acquisitions. addressing those concerns across intellectual t Scrutiny from regulators in the U.S. and abroad may intensify as Corteva’s business presence grows. This scrutiny and related investigations, even when not resulting in an enforcement action, may result in damage to a company’s reputation, significant 15 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued Part I defense expense, as well as become a distraction to management. Antitrust and competition enforcement actions may result in regulators imposing fines, penalties, or restrictions on a company’s business practices in a manner that may significantly impact its results of operations. Corteva’s sales to its customers may be adversely affected should a company successfully establish an intermediary platform for the sale of Corteva’s products or otherwise position itself between Corteva and its customers. Corteva services customers primarily through the Pioneer direct sales channel in key agricultural geographie s, including the ch with strong retail channels, including distributors, agricultural a United States. In addition, Corteva supplements this approa cooperatives and dealers, and with digital solutions that assist farmer decision-making with a view to optimize their product selection and maximize their yield and profitability. While Corteva expects the indirect channels and its digital platform will extend its reach and increase exposure of its products to other potential customers, including smaller farmff ers or farmers in less in this regard. If a competitor were to successfully concentrated areas, there can be no assurance that Corteva will be successfulff establia sh an intermediary platform for distribution of Corteva’s products, especially with respect to Corteva’s digital platform, it may disrupt Corteva’s distribution model and inhibit Corteva’s ability to provide a complete go-to-market strategy covering the direct, dealer and retail channels. In such a circumstance, Corteva’s sales may be adversely affecff ted. a ii Risks Relatedtt to Our Operations Corteva is dependent on its relationships or contracts with third parties with respect to certain of its raw materials or licenses and commercialization. Corteva is dependent on third parties in the research, development and commercialization of its products and enters into transactions including, but not limited to, supply agreements and licensing agreements in connection with Corteva’s business. The majoa rity of Corteva’s corn hybrids and soybean varieties sold to customers contain biotechnology traits that Corteva licenses from third parties under long-term licenses. If Corteva loses its rights under such licenses, it could negatively impact Corteva’s ability to obtain future licenses on competitive terms, commercialize new products and generate sales fromff existing products. To maintain such licenses, Corteva may elect to out-license its technology, including germplasm. There can be no guarantee that such out-licensing will not ultimately strengthen Corteva’s competition thereby adversely impacting Corteva’s results of operations. While Corteva relies heavily on third parties forff multiple aspects of its business and commercialization activities, Corteva does not control many aspects of such third parties’ activities. Third parties may not complete activities on schedule or in accordance with Corteva’s expectations. Failure by one or more of these third parties to meet their contractual or other obligations to Corteva or to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or any disruption in the relationship between Corteva and one or more of these third parties could delay or prevent the development, approval or commercialization of Corteva’s products and could also result in non-compliance or reputational harm, all with potential negative implications for Corteva’s business. In addition, Corteva’s agreements with third parties may obligate it to meet certain contractual or other obligations to third parties. For example, Corteva may be obligated to meet certain thresholds or abide by certain boundary conditions. If Corteva were to fail to meet such obligations to the third parties, its relationship with such third parties may be disrupted. Such a disruption could negatively impact certain of Corteva’s licenses on which it depends, could cause reputational harm, and could negatively affect Corteva’s business, results of operations and financial condition. t Corteva’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by industrial espionage and other disruptions to its supply chain, information technology or network systems. Business and/or supply chain disruptions, plant and/or power outages and information technology system and/or network disruptions, regardless of cause including acts of sabotage, employee error or other actions, geo-political activity, militaryr conflict, local epidemics or pandemics, weather events and natural disasters could seriously harm Corteva’s operations as well t as the operations of its customers and suppliers. For example, a pandemic in locations where Corteva has significant operations, sales, or key suppliers could have a material adverse effect on Corteva’s results of operations. In addition, terrorist attacks and t natural disasters have increased stakeholder concerns about the security and safety of chemical production and distribution. Business and/or supply chain disruptions may also be caused by security breaches, which could include, forff ransomware attacks and attacks on information technology and infrastructuret by hackers, viruses, breaches dued example, to employee 16 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued Part I error or actions or other disruptions. Corteva and/or its suppliers may fail tively prevent, detect and recover from these or other security breaches and, as a consequence, such breaches could result in misuse of Corteva’s assets, business disruptions, loss of property including trade secrets and confidential business information, legal claims or proceedings, reporting errors, processing inefficiencies, negative media attention, loss of sales and interference with regulatory and data privacy compliance. to effecff ff Like most majora corporations, Corteva is the target of industrial espionage, including cyber-attacks, from time to time. Corteva has determined that these incidents have resulted, and could result in the future, in unauthorized parties gaining access to certain confidential business information. However, to date, Corteva has not experienced any material finaff ncial impact, changes in the competitive environment or impact on business operations from these events. Although management does not believe that Corteva has experienced any material including cybersecurity incidents, there can be no assurance that Corteva will not suffer such losses in the future. losses to date related to industrial espionage and security breaches, Corteva actively manages the risks within its control that could lead to business disruptions and security breaches. As these threats continue to evolve, particularly around cybersecurity, Corteva may be required to expend significant resources to enhance its control environment, processes, practices and other protective measures. Despite these efforts, such events could also have a material adverse effect on Corteva’s business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation. Additionally, any losses fromff such an event may be excluded from, or in excess of the coverages provided by Corteva's insurance policies. Volatility in Corteva’s input costs, which include raw materials and production costs, could have a significant impact on Corteva’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Corteva’s input costs are variable based on the costs associated with production or with raw materials Corteva uses. For example, Corteva’s production costs vary, especially on a seasonal basis where changes in weather influence supply and demand. In addition, Corteva’s manufacturing processes consume significant amounts of raw materials, the costs of which are subject to worldwide supply and demand as well as other facff tors beyond Corteva’s control. Corteva refers to these costs collectively as input costs. Significant variations in input costs affect Corteva’s operating results fromff period to period. When possible, Corteva purchases raw materials through negotiated long-term contracts to minimize the impact of price fluctuations. Corteva also enters into over-the-counter and exchange traded derivative commodity instruments to hedge its tuations on certain raw material purchases. In addition, Corteva takes actions to offset the effects of higher exposure to price flucff input costs through selling price increases, productivity improvements and cost reduction programs. Success in offsetting higher input costs with price increases is largely influenced by competitive and economic conditions and could vary significantly depending on the market served. If Corteva is not able to full y offset the effects of higher input costs, it could have a significant impact on its financial results. ff Corteva’s liquidity, business, results of operations and financial condition could be impaired if it is unable to raise capital through the capital markets or short-term debt borrowings. al markets or through short-term debt borrowings could have a Any limitation on Corteva’s ability to raise money in the capita al markets and/or borrow short- substantial negative effect on Corteva’s liquidity. Corteva’s ability to affordablya term debt in amounts adequate to finance its activities could be impaired as a result of a variety of facff tors, including factors that are not specific to Corteva, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets and, in the case of debt securities or borrowings, ions.

The programs are renewed on an annual basis. In most cases, Corteva guarantees the extension of such credit to such customers. If Corteva is unable to renew these agreements or access the debt markets to support customer finaff ncing, Corteva’s sales may be negatively impacted, which could result in increased borrowing needs to fund working capita al. t 17 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued Part I Corteva’s earnings, operations and business, among other things, will impact its credit ratings, costs and availability of financing. There can be no assurance that Corteva or EID will maintain its current or prospective credit ratings. A decrease in the ratings assigned to Corteva or EID by the ratings agencies may negatively impact Corteva’s liquidity, access to the debt capita al markets and increase Corteva’s cost of borrowing and the financing of its seasonal working capita al. Corteva’s customers may be unable to pay their debts to Corteva, which could adversely affect Corteva’s results. ff ing programs with credit terms generally less than one year fromff Corteva offers its customers financ invoicing in alignment with the growing season. Due to these credit practices as well as the seasonality of Corteva’s operations, Corteva may need to issue short-term debt at certain times of the year to fundff requirements. Corteva’s customers may be exposed to a variety of conditions that could adversely affect their abia lity to pay their debts. For example, customers in economies experiencing an economic downturn or in a region experiencing adverse growing conditions may be unable to repay their obligations to Corteva, which could adversely affect Corteva’s results. its cash flowff Increases in pension and other post-employment benefit plan funding obligations may adversely affect Corteva’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. Through Corteva's ownership of EID, Corteva maintains EID defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans. For some of these plans, including EID’s principal U.S. pension plan, Corteva continues as sponsor for the entire plan regardless of whether participants, including retirees, are or were associated with EID’s agriculturet business. Corteva uses many assumptions in calculating its expected future payment obligations under these plans. Significant adverse changes in credit or market conditions could result in actual rates of returns on pension investments being lower than assumed. In addition, expected future payment obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in assumptions regarding participants, including retirees. In mately $60 million to its pension plans other than the principal U.S. pension plan, 2022, Corteva expects to contribute approxi and about $140 million for its other post-employm 2022, Corteva may m make potential discretionary contributions to the principal U.S. pension plan. Corteva, furthermore, may be required to make significant contributions to its pension plans in the future, which could adversely affect Corteva’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. ent benefit ("OPEB") plans. While not anticipated forff a t Corteva’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by environmental, litigation and other commitments and contingencies. As a result of Corteva’s operations, including past operations and those related to divested businesses and discontinued operations of EID, Corteva incurs environmental operating costs for pollution abatement activities including waste collection and disposal, installation and maintenance of air pollution controls and wastewater treatment, emissions testing and monitoring and obtaining permits. Corteva also incurs environmental operating costs related to environmental related research and development activities including environmental fieff ld and treatment studies as well as toxicity and degradation testing to evaluate the environmental impact of products and raw materials. In addition, Corteva maintains and periodically reviews and adjusts its accruals for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs. Corteva expects to continue to incur environmental operating costs since it will operate global manufacturing, product handling and distribution facilities that are subject to a broad array of environmental laws and regulations. These rules are subject to its change by the implementing governmental agency, which Corteva monitors closely. Corteva’s policy requires that operations fully meet or exceed legal and regulatory requirements. In addition, Corteva expects to continue certain voluntary programs, and could consider additional voluntary actions, to reduce air emissions, minimize the generation of hazardous waste, decrease the volume of water use and discharges, increase the efficiency of energy use and reduce the generation of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic materials. Costs to comply with complex environmental laws and regulations, as well as internal voluntary programs and goals, are significant and Corteva expects these costs will continue to be significant for the foreseeable future. Over the long term, such expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty and could flucff tuate significantly. t environmental matters when it is probable that a liabia lity has been incurred and the amount can be Corteva accrues forff ion and cost from site to site, it is difficult to develop reasonably estimated. As remediation activities vary substantially in durat tors, including the precise estimates of future complexity of the geology, the naturet and extent of contamination, the type of remedy, the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies and other Potentially Responsible Parties (“PRPs”) at multi-party sites and the number of, and financial d site remediation costs. Corteva expects to base such estimates on several facff ff 18 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued Part I ity of, other PRPs. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to environmental remediation costs and, under adverse viabila changes in circumstances, the potential liability may be materially higher than Corteva’s accruals. t Corteva faces risks arising from various unasserted and asserted litigation matters arising out of the normal course of its current and former business operations, including intellectual property, commercial, product liability, environmental and antitrust lawsuits. Corteva has noted a trend in public and private suits being filed on behalf of states, counties, cities and utilities alleging harm to the general public and the environment, including waterways and watersheds. Claims alleging harm to the public and the environment may be brought against Corteva, notwithstanding years of scientific evidence and regulatory determinations supporting the safety of crop protection products. The litigation involving Monsanto’s Roundup® non-selective glyphosate containing weedkiller products has resulted in negative publicity and sentiment and may lead to similar suits with respect to glyphosate-containing products and/or other establia shed crop protection products. Claims and allegations that Corteva’s products or products that Corteva manufactures or markets on behalf of third parties are not safe could result in litigation, damage to Corteva’s reputation and have a material adverse effect on Corteva’s business. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various proceedings and any potential impact on Corteva. An adverse outcome in any one or more of these matters may result in losses not fully covered by Corteva's insurance policies, and could be material to Corteva's financial results. Various factors or developments can lead to changes in current estimates of liabia lities. Such factors and developments adverse judgment, significant may include, but are not limited to, additional data, safetyff settlement or changes in applicable law. A future development could result in future charges that could have a material adverse effect on Corteva. or risk assessments, as well as a final adverse ruling or unfavorablea ff ff a , forff cablea The company, pursuant to the respective Separation Agreements, is entitled to cost sharing and indemnification from Chemours, Dow and DuPont, as appli certain litigation, environmental, workers’ compensation and other liabia lities related to its historical operations. In connection with the recognition of liabilities related to these matters, Corteva records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. These estimates of recovery are subject to various factors and developments that could result in differences from future estimates or the actual recovery. As of December 31, 2021, the indemnification assets pursuant to the Chemours Separation Agreement and the Corteva Separation Agreement are in aggregate $72 million within accounts and notes receivable - net and $254 million within other assets in the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Any failure by, or inabila ity to pay, these liabilities in line with the indemnification provisions of the Separation Agreements may have a material adverse effecff t on Corteva and its financial condition and results of operations. In the ordinary course of business, Corteva may make certain commitments, including representations, warranties and indemnities relating to current and past operations, including those related to divested businesses and issue guarantees of third- party obligations. If Corteva were required to make payments as a result, they could exceed the amounts accrued, thereby adversely affecff ting Corteva’s financial condition and results of operations. Corteva’s operations outside the United States are subject to risks and restrictions, which could negatively affect Corteva’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Corteva’s operations outside the United States are subject to risks and restrictions, including fluctuations in foreign-currency exchange rates; inflation; exchange and price control regulations; corruption risks; competitive restrictions; changes in local political or economic conditions; import and trade restrictions; import or export licensing requirements and trade policy; and other potentially detrimental domestic and foreign governmental practices or policies affecting U.S. companies doing business abroad. In addition, Corteva’s international operations are sometimes in countries with unstable governments, economic or fiscal challenges, military or political conflicts, local epidemics or pandemics, significant levels of crime and organized crime, or developing legal systems. This may increase the risk to the company's employees, subcontractors or other parties, and to other liabia lities, such as property loss or damage to the company's products, and may affect Corteva's ability to safely operate in, or import into, or receive raw materials fromff these countries. Additionally, Corteva’s ability to export its products and its sales outside the United States has been, and may continue to be adversely affected by significant changes in trade, tax or other policies, including the risk that other countries may retaliate through the imposition of their own trade restrictions and/or increased tariffs in response to substantial changes to U.S. trade and tax policies. Although Corteva has operations throughout the world, Corteva’s sales outside the United States in 2021 were principally to customers in Brazil, Eurozone countries, and Canada. Further, Corteva’s largest currency exposures are the Brazilian Real, Swiss franc, European Euro ("EUR"), and Canadian dollar. Inflation, market uncertainty or an economic downturn in these 19 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued Part I geographic areas could reduce demand for Corteva’s products and result in decreased sales volume, which could have a a negative impact on Corteva’s results of operations. In addition, changes in exchange rates may affect Corteva’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future periods. Corteva actively manages currency exposures that are associated with net monetary asset positions and committed purchases. Failure to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, alliances, restructurings, cost savings initiatives and other portfolio actions may not have the results anticipated. From time to time Corteva evaluates acquisition candidates that may strategically fit Corteva’s business and/or growth objectives. If Corteva is unable to successfully integrate and develop acquired businesses, Corteva could faiff l to achieve anticipated synergies and cost savings, including any expected increases in revenues and operating results, which could have a material adverse effect on Corteva’s financial results. Corteva continually reviews its portfolio of assets for contributions to its objectives and alignment with its growth strategy. However, Corteva may not be successful in separating underperforming or non-strategic assets and gains or losses on the divestiture of, or lost operating income from, such assets may affect Corteva’s earnings. Moreover, Corteva might incur asset impairment charges related to acquisitions or divestitures that reduce its earnings. In addition, if the execution of these transactions, initiatives, or portfolio actions is not successful, it could adversely impact Corteva’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Sentiment towards climate change and other environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters could adversely affect our stock price, results of operations, and access to capital. 2030 and inclusion, diversity and equity goals forff Since 2020, Corteva has announced sustainability goals, including adopting its greenhouse gas emission reduction strategy and targets forff 2026. Execution of these strategies and the achievements of Corteva’s sustainability goals is subject to risk and uncertainties, many of which are out of its control. Failure to achieve its sustainability goals within the currently projected costs and expected timeframes could damage Corteva’s reputation, customer and investor relationships, or its access to financing. Further, given investors' increased focus related to ESG matters, such a failure could cause stockholders to reduce their ownership holdings, all of which, in turn could adversely affect Corteva’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and reduce its stock price. Global or regional health pandemics or epidemics, including COVID-19, could negatively impact the company's business, financial condition and results of operations. t Corteva's business, financial condition, and results of operations could be negatively impacted by COVID-19 or other and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic and future outbreaks is pandemics or epidemics. The severity, magnitude uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted foreign currency exchange rates, as a result of a generally stronger U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in the countries in which the company operates, which has adversely affected the company's reported results of operations. These relative differences could widen and further adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Increased market volatility resulting from COVID-19 disruptions has also limited the availability of certain manufacturing inputs. Current and future COVID-19 outbreaks and resulting illness, travel restrictions and workforce disruptions could impact Corteva's global supply chain, its operations and its routes to market or those of its suppliers, co-manufacturers, or customers/distributors. These disruptions or the company's failure to effectively respond to them could increase product or distribution costs, alter the timing of recognizing manufacturing costs, or impact the delivery of products to customers. t COVID-19 and the related government-imposed restrictions, including stay at home orders, has significantly impacted other economic activity and markets around the world. Future outbreaks or pandemics could negatively impact the company's business, financial condition, and results of operations in numerous ways, including but not limited to those outlined below: • • • Government or regulatory responses to pandemics could negatively impact the company's business.

Much of Corteva’s future success depends on the continued service, availability and performance of our senior management and highly-skilled personnel across all levels of the organization. Corteva’s senior management has acquired specialized knowledge and skills with respect to its business, and the loss of any of these individuals could harm its business, especially if we are not successful in developing adequate succession plans. Our efforts to attract, develop, integrate and retain highly skilled employees with appropria te qualifications may be compounded by difficulties in recruiting, hiring and retaining urgently needed specialized employees at a regional level where there may be significant competition between employers. If we are unable to continue to successfully attract, retain, and develop key personnel, our business may be harmed. a ii Risks Relatedtt to Our Inteltt lell ctual Property ng Corteva’s intellectual property rights, or defendff Enforci ff could materially affect Corteva’s business, results of operations and financial condition. ing against intellectual property claims asserted by others, ff Intellectual property rights, including patents, plant variety protection, trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, trade names and other forms of trade dress, are important to Corteva’s business.

Further, changes in However, Corteva may be unable to obtain protection for its intellectual government policies and regulations, including changes made in reaction to pressure from non-governmental organizations, or the public generally, could impact the extent of intellectual property protection afforded by such jurisdictions. t property. Corteva has designed and implemented internal controls to restrict use of, access to and distribution of its intellectual Despite these precautions, Corteva’s intellectual property is vulnerable to infringement, misappropriation and other unauthorized access, including through employee or licensee error or actions, theft and cybersecurity incidents, and other security breaches. When unauthorized access and use or counterfeit products are discovered, Corteva reports such situations to governmental authorities for investigation, as appropriate, and takes measures to mitigate any potential impact. Protecting t to detect and biotechnology intellectual can be self-replicating. property related to biotechnology is particularly challenging because theft is difficul ff t t Competitors are increasingly challenging intellectual property positions and the outcomes can be highly uncertain. Third parties may claim Corteva’s products violate their intellectual property rights. Defending such claims, even those without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive. In addition, any such claim could result in Corteva’s having to enter into license agreements, develop non-infringing products or engage in litigation that could be costly. If challenges are resolved adversely, it could negatively impact Corteva’s ability to obtain licenses on competitive terms, develop and commercialize new products and generate sales from existing products. In addition, because of the rapid pace of technological change, the confidentiality of patent applications in some jurisdictions and/or the uncertainty in predicting the outcome of complex proceedings relating to ownership and the scope of patents relating to certain emerging technologies, competitors may be issued patents related to Corteva’s business unexpectedly. These patents could reduce the value of Corteva’s commercial or pipeline products or, to the extent they cover key technologies on which 21 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued Part I Corteva has relied, require Corteva to seek to obtain licenses (and Corteva cannot ensure it would be able to obtain such a license on acceptablea terms) or cease using the technology, no matter how valuablea to Corteva’s business. Legislation and jurisprudence on patent protection is evolving and changes in laws could affect Corteva’s ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for, and otherwise enforce Corteva’s patents related to, its productd s. Corteva’s business may be adversely affected by the availability of counterfeit products. a tors, including, but not limited to, the following: the widespread use of the Internet, which has greatly facff ed as to its identity and source. A counterfeit A counterfeit product is one that has been deliberately and fraudulently mislabel Corteva product, therefore, is one manufactured by someone other than Corteva, but which appears to be the same as an authentic Corteva product. The prevalence of counterfeit products is a significant and growing industry-wide issue due to a variety of facff ilitated the ease by which counterfeit products can be advertised, purchased and delivered to individual consumers; the availability of sophisticated technology that makes it easier for counterfeiters to make counterfeit products; and the relatively modest risk of penalties facff ed by counterfeiters compared to the large profits that can be earned by them fromff the sale of counterfeit products. Further, laws against counterfeiting vary greatly fromff country to country, and the enforcement of existing laws varies greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, in some countries, counterfeiting is not a crime; in others, it may result in only minimal sanctions. In addition, those involved in the distribution of counterfeit products use complex transport routes to evade customs controls by disguising the true source of their products. counterfeiting organizations. Counterfeit products pose a risk Corteva’s global reputation makes its products prime targets forff to consumer health and safety because of the conditions under which they are manufactured (often in unregulated, unlicensed, uninspected and unsanitary sites) as well as the lack of regulation of their contents. Failure to mitigate the threat of counterfeit products, which is exacerbated by the complexity of the supply chain, could adversely impact Corteva’s business by, among other things, causing the loss of consumer confidence in Corteva’s name and in the integrity of its products, potentially resulting in lost sales and an increased threat of litigation. ff t forff Corteva undertakes significant efforts to counteract the threats associated with counterfeit products, including, among other things, working with regulatory authorities and multinational coalitions to combat the counterfeiting of products and supporting efforts by law enforcement authorities to prosecute counterfeiters; assessing new and existing technologies to seek to make it counterfeiters to copy Corteva’s products and easier for consumers to distinguish authentic from counterfeit more difficul products; working diligently to raise public awareness about the dangers of counterfeit products; working collaborat ively with wholesalers, customs offices and law enforcement agencies to increase inspection coverage, monitor distribution channels and improve surveillance of distributors; and working with other members of an international trade association of agrochemical companies to promote initiatives to combat counterfeiting activity. No assurance can be given, however, that Corteva’s efforts and the efforts of others will be entirely successful, and the presence of counterfeit products may continue to increase. a Restrictions under the intellectual property cross-license agreements limit Corteva’s ability to develop and commercialize certain products and services and/or prosecute, maintain and enforce certain intellectual property. The company is dependent to a certain extent on DuPont and Dow to maintain and enforce certain of the intellectual property licensed under the Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreements. For example, DuPont and Dow are responsible for filing, prosecuting and maintaining (at their respective discretion) patents on trade secrets and know-how that they each respectively license to Corteva. They also have the first right to enforce their respective trade secrets and know-how licensed to Corteva. If DuPont or Dow, as applicablea ls to fulfill its obligations or chooses to not enforce the licensed patents, trade secrets or know-how under the Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreements, the company may not be able to prevent competitors from making, using and selling competitive products and services. , faiff In addition, Corteva’s use of the intellectual property licensed to it under the Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreements is restricted to certain fields, which could limit Corteva’s ability to develop and commercialize certain products and services. For lds of use that the company may decide to example, the licenses granted to Corteva under the agreement will not extend to all fieff enter into in the future. These restrictions may make it more difficult, time consuming and/or expensive for Corteva to develop and commercialize certain new products and services, or may result in certain of its products or services being later to market than those of its competitors. 22 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued Risks Relatedtt to The Separation Part I In connection with the Separation the company has assumed, and agreed to indemnify DuPont and Dow for, certain liabilities. If the company is required to make payments pursuant to these indemnities, the company may need to divert cash to meet those obligations and its financial results could be negatively impacted. In addition, DuPont and Dow will indemnify Corteva for certain liabilities. These indemnities may not be sufficient to insure the company against the full amount of liabilities it incurs, and DuPont and/or Dow, and/or their historical separated businesses, may not be able to satisfy their indemnification obligations in the future. a Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement with DuPont and amounts, which may Dow, the company agreed to assume, and indemnify DuPont and Dow for, certain liabilities for uncapped include, among other items, associated defense costs, settlement amounts and judgments, as discussed furthe r in Note 18 - ff Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I - Item 3 - Legal Proceedings. Payments pursuant to these indemnities may be significant and could negatively impact the company’s business, particularly indemnities relating to certain litigation for Historical DuPont operations or its actions that could impact the tax-free naturet of the Corteva Distribution. Third parties could also seek to hold the company responsible forff any of the liabilities allocated to DuPont and Dow, including those related to DowDuPont’s specialty products and/or materials science businesses, respectively, and those related to discontinued and/or divested businesses and operations of Historical Dow, which have been allocated to Dow. DuPont and/or Dow, as applicable, will agree to indemnify Corteva for such liabilities, but such indemnities may not be sufficient to protect the company against the full amount of such liabilities. In addition, DuPont and/or Dow, as applicablea , may y satisfy their indemnification obligations with respect to the liabilities the company incurs. Even if the not be able to full company ultimately succeeds in recovering from DuPont and/or Dow, as applicablea , any amounts for which the company is held liabla e, the company may be temporarily required to bear these losses itself. Each of these risks could negatively affect the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. ff Additionally, the company generally has assumed and is responsible for the payment of its share of (i) certain liabilities of DowDuPont relating to, arising out of or resulting from certain general corporate matters of DowDuPont, (ii) certain liabilities of Historical DuPont relating to, arising out of or resulting from general corporate matters of Historical DuPont and discontinued and/or divested businesses and operations of Historical DuPont, including its spin-off of Chemours, and (iii) certain separation expenses not otherwise allocated to DuPont or Dow (or allocated specifically to Corteva) pursuant to the Corteva Separation Agreement, and third parties could seek to hold Corteva responsible for DuPont’s or Dow’s share of any such liabilities. For more information, see Note 18 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I - Item 3 - Legal Proceedings. DuPont and/or Dow, as applicablea , will indemnify Corteva for their share of any such liabilities; however, such indemnities may not be sufficient to protect Corteva against the full amount of such liabilities, and/or DuPont and/or Dow may not be able to full y satisfy their respective indemnification obligations. In addition, even if the company ultimately succeeds in recovering from DuPont and/or Dow any amounts for which the company is held liable in excess of its agreed share, the company may be temporarily required to bear these losses itself and may not be able to fully insure itself to cover these risks. Each of these risks could materially affect the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. ff The Separation and related transactions may expose Corteva to potential liabilities arising out of state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws Although the company received a solvency opinion from an investment bank confirming that the company and DuPont were each adequately capita alized following the Distribution, the Separation could be challenged under various state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws. In connection with fraudulent conveyances or transfers are generally defined to include transfers made or obligations incurred with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud current or future creditors or transfers made or obligations incurred forff less than reasonably equivalent value when the debtor was insolvent, or that rendered the debtor insolvent, inadequately capitalized or unable to pay its debts as they become due. Any unpaid creditor could claim that DuPont did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in the Separation and Corteva Distribution, and that the Separation and Corteva Distribution left DuPont insolvent or with unreasonably small capital or that DuPont intended or believed it would incur debts beyond its abia lity to pay such debts as they matured. Additionally, under its indemnity provisions its liabia lities increased as a result of a court concluding that Historical of the Separation Agreement, the company could findff DuPont, Historical Dow or DowDuPont executed a fraudul and spin-offs of any one of their historical operations, including Chemours.

Among other things, the court could returnt some of Corteva’s assets or shares of Corteva common stock to DuPont, provide DuPont with a claim for money damages against Corteva in an amount equal to the difference between the consideration received by DuPont and the fair market value of Corteva at the time of the Corteva Distribution, or require Corteva to fund liabilities of other companies involved in the Internal Reorganization and Business Realignment for the benefit of creditors. ff ct to review under state corporate Distribution statutet al) or (ii) if there is no such surplus, out of its net profits forff The Distribution is also subjeu ion Law (the “DGCL”), a corporation may only pay dividends to its stockholders either (i) out of its surplus (net assets minus the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the capita preceding fiscal year. Although the Distribution was made out of DowDuPont’s surplus and the company received an opinion that DowDuPont has adequate surplus under Delaware law to declare the dividend of Corteva common stock in connection with the Corteva Distribution, there can be no assurance that a court will not later determine that some or all of the Corteva Distribution was unlawful. s.

The IRS Ruling and tax opinion relied on certain facts, assumptim ons, and undertakings, and certain representations from DowDuPont and Corteva, regarding the past and future conduct of both respective businesses and other matters. Despite the tax opinion and the IRS Ruling, the IRS could determine on audit that the Distribution or certain related transactions should be treated as a taxable transaction if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are not other reasons, including if the IRS were to disagree correct or have been violated, or that the Distribution should be taxable forff with the conclusions of the tax opinion. If the Corteva Distribution ultimately is determined to be taxable, then a stockholder of DuPont that received shares of Corteva common stock would be treated as having received a distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares (including any fractional shares sold on behalf of such stockholder) on the distribution date and could incur ities. Such distribution would be taxable to such stockholder as a dividend to the extent of DuPont’s significant income tax liabila current and accumulated earnings and profits, which would include any earnings and profits attributablea to the gain recognized to certain internal transactions by DuPont on the taxable distribution and could include earnings and profits attributablea preceding the Corteva Distribution. Any amount that exceeded DuPont’s earnings and profits would be treated first as a non- taxable returnt al to the extent of such stockholder’s tax basis in its shares of DuPont stock with any remaining amount being taxed as a gain on the DuPont stock. In the event the Distribution is ultimately determined to be taxable, DuPont would recognize corporate level taxable gain on the Distribution in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Corteva common stock distributed to DuPont stockholders on the distribution date over DuPont’s tax basis in such stock. In addition, if certain related transactions fail to qualify for tax-free treatment under U.S. federal, state, local tax and/or foreign tax law, Corteva and DuPont could incur significant tax liabila ities under U.S. federal, state, local and/or foreign tax law. of capita Generally, taxes resulting from the failure of the Separation and Distributions to qualify for non-recognition treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes would be imposed on DuPont or DuPont stockholders. Under the Tax Matters Agreement that the company entered into with DuPont and Dow, subject to the exceptions described below, the company is generally obligated to indemnify DuPont against such taxes imposed on DuPont. However, if the Distributions fail to qualify for non-recognition of the Merger and the treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes for certain reasons relating to the overall structuret Distributions, then under the Tax Matters Agreement, DuPont and Dow would share the tax liabila such failure in accordance with their relative equity values on the first full trading day following the Dow Distribution.

Furthermore, under the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, the on the first full company also generally will be responsible for any taxes imposed on DuPont or Dow that arise from the failure of the Corteva Distribution to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code or the failure of certain related transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment, to the extent such failure to qualify is attributable to actions, events or transactions relating to its, or its affiliates’, stock, assets or business, or any breach of its representations made in any representation letter provided to its counsel in connection with the tax opinion.

Events triggering an indemnification obligation under the tax matters agreement include events occurring after the Corteva Distribution that cause DuPont to recognize a gain under Section 355(e) of the Code, as discussed furthe r below. Such tax amounts could be significant. To the extent that the company is responsible forff any liability under the tax matters agreement, there could be a material adverse impact on Corteva’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future reporting periods. ff The IRS may assert that the Merger causes the Distributions and other related transactions to be taxable to DuPont, in which case the company could be subject to significff ant indemnification liability. Even if the Distributions otherwise constitutet s a tax-free transaction to stockholders under Section 355 of the Code, DuPont may be required to recognize corporate level tax on the Distributions and certain related transactions under Section 355(e) of the Code if, as a result of the Merger or other transactions considered part of a plan with the Distributions, there is a 50 percent or greater change of ownership in DuPont or Corteva. In connection with the Merger, DowDuPont received a private letter ruling from the IRS regarding the proper time, manner and methodology for measuring common ownership in the stock of DowDuPont, Historical DuPont and Historical Dow for purposes of determining whether there has been a 50 percent or greater change of ownership under Section 355(e) of the Code as a result of the Merger. The tax opinion relied on the continued validity of the private letter ruling, as well as certain factual representations from DowDuPont as to the extent of common ownership in the stock of Historical DuPont and Historical Dow immediately prior to the Merger. Based on the representations made by DowDuPont as to the common ownership in the stock of Historical DuPont and Historical Dow immediately prior to the Merger and assuming the continued validity of the IRS Ruling, the tax opinion concluded that there was not a 50 percent or greater change of ownership in DowDuPont, Historical DuPont or Historical Dow for purposes of Section 355(e) as a result of the Merger. Notwithstanding the tax opinion and the IRS Ruling, the IRS could determine that the Distributions or a related transaction should nevertheless be treated as a taxable transaction to DuPont if it determines that any of the facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings of DowDuPont is not correct or that the Distributions should be taxable forff other reasons, including if the IRS were to disagree with the conclusions in the tax opinion that are not covered by the private letter ruling. If DuPont is required to recognize corporate level tax on either of the Distributions and certain related transactions under Section 355(e) of the Code, then under the Tax Matters Agreement, the company may be required to indemnify DuPont and/or Dow for all or a portion of such taxes, which could be a material amount, if such taxes were the result of either direct or indirect transfers of Corteva common stock or certain reasons relating to the overall structure of the Merger and the Distributions. The company is subject to continuing contingent tax-related liabilities of DowDuPont following the Distribution. There are several significant areas where the liabilities of DowDuPont may become Corteva’s obligations either in whole or in part. For example, under the Code and the related rules and regulations, each corporation that was a member of DowDuPont’s consolidated tax reporting group during any taxable period or portion of any taxable period ending on or before the effective time of the Distribution is jointly and severally liabla e forff the U.S. federal income tax liability of the entire consolidated tax reporting group for such taxable period. Additionally, to the extent that any subsidiary of Corteva was included in the consolidated tax reporting group of either Historical DuPont or Historical Dow for any taxable period or portion of any taxable the U.S. federal period ending on or before the effective date of the Merger, such subsidiary is jointly and severally liabla e forff income tax liabila , forff such taxable period.

The inquiry is in response to and information as part of a forma allegations by the Farmers Business Network ("FBN") that Corteva and other seeds and crop protection manufacturers and wholesalers unilaterally or in coordination refused, restricted and/or impaired supply of products to FBN in western Canada. This inquiry follows an informal request for information from the Bureau pursuant to which the company voluntarily provided documents and engaged in discussions with the Bureau outlining how its conduct was and continues to be compliant with Canadian competition laws. In February 2022, the Commissioner of the Bureau notified Corteva that the Bureau had discontinued the inquiry. The Bureau made no finaff l determination with respect to Corteva’s conduct, thereby retaining discretion to investigate or to take enforcement action in the future. Corteva believes the likelihood of material liabia lity is remote. ii on Investigation Federal Trade Commissi On May 26, 2020, Corteva received a subpoena from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) directing it to submit documents pertaining to its crop protection products generally, as well as business plans, rebate programs, offers, pricing and marketing materials specifically related to its acetochlor, oxamyl, rimsulfuron and other related products in order to determine whether Corteva engaged in unfair methods of competition through anticompetitive conduct.

Corteva responded to the CSB on September 30, 2019 outlining the actions it has taken to date to address the recommendations for the site and providing its plan to address the CSB’s remaining recommendations. After the conclusion of the CSB investigation, criminal U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the Department of Justice ("DOJ") investigations related to the incident continued. On January 8, 2021, EID and the facility's former unit operations leader were indicted by the DOJ on two felony and one misdemeanor charges of violations of the Clean Air Act related to the release. On January 18, 2022, the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Texas dismissed the felony charge for failing to implement a safety practice. The maximum statutory penalties per charge are $500,000, or twice the gross gain or loss derived from the incident, as well as up to three years of probation and related ongoing reporting obligations.

Segment Reviews The company operates in two reportable segments: seed and crop protection. The company’s seed segment is a global leader in developing and supplying advanced germplasm and traits that produce optimum yield for farms around the world. The segment offers trait technologies that improve resistance to weather, disease, insects and herbicides used to control weeds, and trait technologies that enhance food and nutritional characteristics, and also provides digital solutions that assist farmer decision- making with a view to optimize product selection and, ultimately, help maximize yield and profitability. The segment competes in a wide variety of agricultural markets. The crop protection segment serves the global agricultural input industry with products that protect against weeds, insects and other pests, and disease, and that improve overall crop health both above and below ground via nitrogen management and seed-appli is a leader in global herbicides, insecticides, nitrogen stabila izers and pasture and range management herbicides. ed technologies. The segment a Summarized below are comments on individual segment net sales and segment operating EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, segment operating EBITDA is calculated on a pro forma basis, as this is the manner in which the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses performance and allocates resources. Pro forma adjustments used in the calculation of pro forma segment operating EBITDA were determined in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X that was in effect prior to recent amendments. For the year ended December 31, 2019, these adjustments give effect to the Merger, the debt retirement transactions related to paying off or retiring portions of EID’s existing debt liabilities (as discussed in Note 17 - Long-Term Debt and Available Credit Facilities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements), and the separation and distribution to DowDuPont stockholders of all the outstanding shares of Corteva common stock as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2016 (refer to supplemental unaudited pro forma financial statements on page 45). The company defines segment operating EBITDA as earnings (loss) (i.e., income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, corporate expenses, non-operating benefits (costs), foreign exchange gains (losses), and net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity forff certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, excluding the impact of significant items. Non-operating benefits (costs) consists of non-operating pension and OPEB benefit (costs), tax indemnification adjustments, environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy EID businesses and sites, and the 2021 officer indemnification payment. 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIRR ONS, continued Seed Seed net sales were $8,402 million in 2021, up 8 percent from $7,756 million in 2020. The increase was driven by a 4 percent increase in price and a 4 percent increase in volume. Local price gains were driven by strong adoption of new Seed technology, ercent globally. These gains were partially offset including price execution in Latin America and EMEA, with corn price up 5 p by competitive pricing pressure in North America soybeans, where price was down 2 percent. The increase in volume was driven by strong demand for corn in Brazil, coupled with higher soybean and corn sales in North America. u Seed operating EBITDA was $1,512 million in 2021, up 25 percent from $1,208 million in 2020.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIRR ONS, continued Part II Non-GAAP Financial Measures The company presents certain financial measures that do not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures include Operating EBITDA and operating earnings (loss) per share. Management uses these measures planning and forecasting, including allocating resources and evaluating incentive compensation. Management internally forff 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 below. For the year ended December 31, 2019, information is on a pro forma basis and 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 that was in effect prior to recent amendments, which are reconciled to the GAAP reported figure s.

Effective January 1, 2021, on a prospective basis, the company excludes fromff segment operating EBITDA net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity forff certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Non-operating benefits (costs) consists of non-operating pension and OPEB benefits (costs), tax indemnification adjustments, environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy EID businesses and sites, and the 2021 officer indemnification payment. 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 earnings (loss) per share is defined as "earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items, the after-tax impact of non-operating benefits (costs), the after-tax impact of amortization expense associated with intangible assets existing as of the Separation fromff DowDuPont, and the after-tax impact of net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent information about the basis enables the company to provide the users of the financial statements with useful and reliablea company's operating results and financial condition. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptim ons that affect the reported 59 Part II ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATRR IONS, continued amounts, including, but not limited to, receivable and inventory valuations, impairment of tangible and intangible assets, long- term employee benefit obligations, income taxes, environmental matters and litigation. Management's estimates are based on historical experience, facff ts and circumstances available at the time and various other assumptim ons that are believed to be te. Management believes that the reasonable. The company reviews these matters and reflects changes in estimates as appropria following represent some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of the company's accounting policies which could have a material effect on the company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations. a EE ent Benefitff stt Pension Plans and Other Post Employm Accounting for employee benefit plans involves numerous assumptim ons and estimates. Discount rate and expected long-term rate of returnt on plan assets are two critical assumptim ons in measuring the cost and benefit obligation of the company's pension and OPEB plans. Management reviews these two key assumptim ons when plans are re-measured. These and other assumptim ons are updated periodically to reflect the actual experience and expectations on a plan specific basis as appropriate. As permitted the assumptions are accumulated on a plan by plan basis and to the extent that such by GAAP, actual results that differ fromff differences exceed 10 percent of the greater of the plan's benefitff obligation or the applicablea plan assets, the excess is amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees or the average remaining life expectancy of plan participants if all or almost all of a plan’s participants are inactive. Substantially all of the company's benefit obligation for pensions and OPEB are attributablea to the benefit plans in the U.S. In the U.S., the single equivalent discount rate is developed by matching the expected cash flowff of the benefit plans to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high quality fixeff d-income instruments provided by the plans' actuaries as of the ch by measurement date. The company measures the service and interest cost components utilizing a full applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. For non-U.S. benefit plans, historically the company utilized prevailing long-term high quality corporate bond indices to determine the discount rate, applicablea to each country, at the measurement date. The weighted average discount rates used in developing the 2022 net periodic pension and OPEB costs are expected to be 2.82 percent and 2.59 percent, respectively. yield curve approa a ff the company establia shes strategic asset allocation percentage targets and appropriate benchmarks for Within the U.S., and risk.

After re-evaluating the current strategic asset allocation and recent market conditions, the company lowered the expected on plan assets assumptim on to 4.50 percent to be used in determining the 2022 net periodic pension cost long-term rate of returnt in the U.S. Consistent with prior years, the expected long-term rate of returnt on plan assets in the U.S. reflects the asset allocation of the plan and the effect of the company's active management of the plan's assets. In determining annual expense for the principal U.S. pension plan, the company uses a market-related value of assets rather than its fair value. Accordingly, there may be a lag in recognition of changes in market valuation. As a result, changes in the fair value of assets are not immediately reflected in the company's calculation of net periodic pension cost. For the years ended over 36 months, December 31, 2021 and 2020, the market-related value of assets is calculated by averaging market returnsr however, as a result of the Merger, the market-related value of assets was calculated by averaging market returnsr from September 1, 2017 through the year ended December 31, 2019.

At December 31, 2021, the company had accrued obligations of $452 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs, including $68 million for the remediation of Superfund sites. As remediation activities vary substantially in durat site remediation costs. The company's estimates are based on a number of facff tors, including the complexity of the geology, the and extent of contamination, the type of remedy, the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies and other naturet ity of other PRPs. Therefore, Potentially Responsible Parties ("PRPs") at multi-party sites and the number of and financial viabila considerable uncertainty exists with respect to environmental remediation and costs, and, under adverse changes in circumstances, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost with respect to these particular matters could range up to $592 million above 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 or cash flows. For further discussion, see Environmental Matters in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 18 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements. ff Legal Contingencies The company's results of operations could be affected by significant litigation adverse to the company, including product liability claims, patent infringement and antitrust claims, and claims for third-party property damage or personal injury stemming from alleged environmental torts. The company records accruals for legal matters when the information available indicates that it is probable that a liabia lity has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management makes adjustments to these accruals to reflect the impact and statust of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information and events that may pertain to a particular matter. Predicting the outcome of claims and lawsuits and estimating related costs and exposure involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual costs to vary materially fromff estimates. In making determinations of likely outcomes of litigation matters, management considers many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the naturet of specific claims including unasserted claims, the company's experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the judgment is required in matter through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, and the matter's current status. Considerablea determining whether to establia sh a litigation accrual when an adverse judgment is rendered against the company in a court proceeding. In such situations, the company will not recognize a loss if, based upon a thorough review of all relevant facts and information, management believes that it is probable that the pending judgment will be successfully overturned on appeal. A detailed discussion of significant litigation matters is contained in Note 18 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements. t Indemnificff ation Assets The company has entered into various agreements where the company is indemnified for certain liabilities by DuPont, Dow, and Chemours. The term of this indemnification is generally indefinite and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. In connection with the recognition of liabia lities related to these matters, the company records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. In assessing the probability of recovery, the company considers the contractual rights under the separation agreements and any potential credit risk. Future events, such as potential disputes related to recovery as well as the solvency of DuPont, Dow, and / or Chemours, could cause the indemnification assets to have a lower value than anticipated and recorded.

See Note 5 - Divestituret Income TaxTT es The breadth of the company's operations and the global complexity of tax regulations require assessments of uncertainties and judgments in estimating taxes the company will ultimately pay. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation and resolution of disputes arising from federal, state and international tax audits in the normal course of business. The resolution of these uncertainties may result in adjustments to the company's tax assets and tax liabia lities. It is reasonably possible that changes to the company’s global unrecognized tax benefits could be significant; however, due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of completion of audits and possible outcomes, a current estimate of the range of increases or decreases that may occur within the next twelve months cannot be made. ff and magnitude Deferred income taxes result from difference s between the financial and tax basis of the company's assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the need forff of appropriate valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. The realization of these assets is dependent on generating future taxable income, as well as successful implementation of various tax planning strategies. For example, changes in facts and circumstances that alter the probability that the company will realize deferred tax assets could result in recording a valuation allowance, thereby reducing the deferred tax asset and generating a deferred tax expense in the relevant period. In some situations, these changes could be material. See Note 10 - Income Taxes, to the Consolidated Financial Statements forff additional information. t At December 31, 2021, the company had a net deferred tax liabia lity balance of $782 million, inclusive of a valuation allowance of $366 million.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, including identified intangibles, is recorded as goodwill. The determination and allocation of fair value to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptim ons and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management including estimates based on historical information, current market data and future expectations. The principal assumptim ons utilized in the company's valuation methodologies include revenue growth rates, operating margin estimates, royalty rates, and discount rates. Although the estimates are deemed reasonable by management based on information available at the dates of acquisition, those estimates are inherently uncertain. judgment, Assessment of the potential impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, investments in nonconsolidated affiliates, and other assets is an integral part of the company's normal ongoing review of operations. Testing for potential impairment of these assets is significantly dependent on numerous assumptim ons and reflects management's best estimates at a particular point in time. The dynamic economic environment in which the company's segments operate, and key economic and business assumptim ons with respect to projected selling prices, market growth and inflation rates, can significantly actual results. affect the outcome of impairment tests. Estimates based on these assumptim ons may differ significantly fromff Changes in facff tors and assumptim ons used in assessing potential impairments can have a significant impact on the existence and magnitude of impairments, as well as the time in which such impairments are recognized. In addition, the company continually t reviews its portfolio of assets to ensure they are achieving their greatest potential and are aligned with the company's growth strategy. Strategic decisions involving a particular group of assets may trigger an assessment of the recoverabila ity of the related assets. Such an assessment could result in impairment losses. The company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the fourth quarter at the reporting unit level which is defined as the operating segment or one level below the operating segment. One level below the operating segment, or and regularly reviewed by segment management. component, is a business in which discrete financial information is availablea 62 Part II ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIRR ONS, continued The company aggregates certain components into reporting units based on economic similarities. The company’s reporting units include seed, crop protection and digital. For purposes of the annual goodwill impairment test, the company has the option to first perform qualitative testing to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors assessed at the company level include, but are not limited to, GDP growth rates, long-term commodity prices, equity and credit market activity, discount rates, foreign exchange rates, and overall financial performance. Qualitative factors assessed at competitive environments, the reporting unit level include, but are not limited to, changes in industry and market structure, planned capac e of the reporting ff unit. If the company chooses not to complete a qualitative assessment for a given reporting unit or if the initial assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is required. ity and new product launches, cost factors such as raw material prices, and financial performanc a rr t If additional quantitative testing is required, the reporting unit’s fair value is compared with its carrying amount, and an amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, impairment charge, if any, is recognized for the amount by which the carrying r values for each of the limited to the amount of goodwill associated with the reporting unit. The company determines faiff reporting units using a discounted cash flow model (a form of the income approa ch), utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs, or the market approach. a rr a ch, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future Under the income approa cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. The company’s significant assumptim ons in these analyses include future cash flow projections, weighted average cost of capita al, the terminal growth rate and the tax rate. The company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on current regulatory and economic climates, recent operating results, and planned business strategy and includes an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on its most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit. those assumed in the company’s forecasts. The company derives its discount rates using a capital Actual results may differ fromff asset pricing model and analyzes published rates for industries relevant to its reporting units to estimate the cost of equity financing. The company uses discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting units and in its internally developed forec asts. Discount rates used in the company’s valuations ranged from 9.25 percent to 16.5 percent. Under the market approach, the company uses metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions for comparam companies. blea ff ff Estimating the fair value of reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods. The company believes the current assumptim ons and estimates utilized are both reasonable and appropriate. Based on the goodwill impairment analyses performed in the fourth quarter 2021, the company concluded the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values by more than 20 percent, and no goodwill impairment charge was necessary. ff Prepaid Royalties The company’s seed segment currently has certain third-party biotechnology trait license agreements, which require up-front and variable payments subject to the licensor meeting certain conditions. These payments are reflecff ted as other current assets and other assets and are amortized to cost of goods sold as seeds containing the respective trait technology are utilized over the term of the license. The rate of royalty amortization expense recognized is based on the company’s strategic plans which include various assumptim ons and estimates including product portfolio, market dynamics, farmer preferences, growth rates and projected planted acres. Changes in facff tors and assumptim ons included in the strategic plans, including potential changes to the product portfolio in favor of internally developed biotechnology, could impact the rate of recognition of the relevant prepaid royalty. At December 31, 2021, the balance of prepaid royalties reflected in other current assets and other assets was $303 million and $256 million, respectively. The majoa rity of the balance of prepaid royalties relates to the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.’s (“Pioneer”) non-exclusive license in the United States and Canada for the Monsanto Company's Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® glyphosate tolerance trait and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® glyphosate and dicamba tolerance trait for soybeans (“Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement”). The prepaid royalty asset relates to a series of up-front, fixed and variablea royalty payments to utilize the traits in Pioneer’s soybean product mix. The company’s historical expectation has been that the technology licensed under the Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement would be used as the primary herbicide tolerance trait platform in the Pioneer® brand soybean through the term of the agreement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued L.L.C. jointly developed and own the Enlist E3TM herbicide tolerance trait forff soybeans which provides tolerance to 2, 4-D choline in Enlist Duo® and Enlist One® herbicides, as well as glyphosate and glufosinate herbicides. In connection with the validation of breeding plans and large-scale product development timelines, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the company f the Enlist E3TM trait platform in the company’s soybean portfolio mix across all brands, including accelerated the ramp up ou Pioneer® brands, over the subsequent five years. During the ramp-up period, the company is expected to significantly reduce the volume of products with the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits beginning in 2021, with expected minimal use of the trait platform thereafter for the remainder of the Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement (the “Transition Plan”). The rate of royalty expense is therefore expected to significantly increase through higher amortization of the prepaid royalty as fewff er seeds containing the respective trait are expected to be utilized. In connection with the departure fromff these traits in the company's product portfolio, beginning January 1, 2020 the company presents and discloses the accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense as a component of restructuring and asset related charges - net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense represents the difference between the rate of amortization based on the revised number of units expected to contain the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® trait technology and the per unit cash rate per the Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the company recognized $125 million in restructuring and asset related charges - net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations from non-cash accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense. The expected non- cash accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense estimated for 2022 is approximately $102 million, aggregating to approximately $235 million over the next 3 years. Further changes in factors and assumptim ons associated with usage of the trait platform licensed under the Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement, including the Transition Plan, could furthe r impact the rate of recognition of the prepaid royalty and statement of operations presentation of the accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense. ff Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Certain Guarantee Contractstt Information with respect to the company's guarantees is included in Note 18 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The company maintains retirement-related programs in many countries that have a long-term impact on the company's earnings and cash flows. These plans are typically defined benefit pension plans, as well as medical, dental and life insurance benefits forff pensioners and survivors and disability benefits for employees ("other post employment benefits" or "OPEB"). Substantially all of the company's worldwide benefit obligation for pensions and essentially all of the company's worldwide OPEB obligations are attributablea to the U.S. benefit plans. Pension coverage for employees of the company's non-U.S. consolidated subsidiaries is provided, to the extent deemed appropriate, through separate plans. The company regularly explores alternative solutions to meet its global pension obligations in the most cost effective manner possible as demographics, life expectancy and country-specific pension funding rules change. Where permitted by appl icable law, the company reserves the right to change, modify or discontinue its plans that provide pension, medical, dental, life insurance and disability benefits. a Benefits under defined benefit pension plans are based primarily on years of service and employees' pay near retirement. In November 2016, the company announced changes to the U.S. pension and OPEB plans.

Long-term employee benefit plan credits were $(1,167) million and $(213) million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change is due to the 2020 OPEB Plan Amendments and lower discount rates. See "Pension Plans and Other Post Employment Benefits" under the Critical Accounting Estimates section beginning on page 60 of this report for additional information on determining annual expense.

Such rules are subject to change by the implementing governmental agency, and the company monitors these changes closely. Company policy requires that all operations fully meet or exceed legal and regulatory requirements. In addition, the company implements voluntary programs to reduce air emissions, minimize the generation of hazardous waste, decrease the volume of water use and discharges, increase the efficiency of energy use and reduce the generation of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic materials. Management has noted a global upward trend in the amount and complexity of proposed chemicals regulation. The costs to comply with complex environmental laws and regulations, as well as internal voluntary programs and goals, are significant and will continue to be significant for the foreff seeablea future. u Pre-tax environmental expenses charged to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes are summarized below: (Dollars in millions) Environmental operating costs Environmental remediation costs1 For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2021 $ 144 $ 46 138 $ 63 136 29 165 1.

Considerablea uncertainty exists with respect to environmental remediation costs and, under adverse changes in circumstances, the potential liability may range up to $592 million above the amount accrued as of December 31, 2021.

Active remediation is under way at approximately 70 of the 500 sites. In addition, the company has resolved its liability at approximately 210 sites, either by completing remedial actions with other PRPs or by participating in "de minimis buyouts" with other PRPs whose waste, like the company's, represented only a small fracff tion of the total waste present at a site.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ncial market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange The company’s global operations are exposed to finaff shed a variety of programs including the use of derivative rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. The company has establia instruments and other finaff ncial instruments to manage the exposure to financial market risks as to minimize volatility of financial results. In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency and commodity price risks under establia shed procedures and controls. For additional information on these derivatives and related exposures, see Note 22 - Financial Instruments, to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Decisions regarding whether or not to hedge a given commitment are made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the amount and duration of the exposure, market volatility and economic trends. Foreign currency exchange contracts may be used, from time to time, to manage near-term foreign currency cash requirements. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks The company has significant international operations resulting in a large number of currency transactions that result fromff international sales, purchases, investments and borrowings. The primary currencies for which the company has an exchange rate exposure are the Brazilian Real, Swiss franc , Canadian dollar and European Euro ("EUR"). The company uses foreign exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain forecasted transactions, investment in foreign subsidiaries, as well as the translation of forei gn currency- ff denominated earnings and uses commodity contracts to offset risks associated with forei gn currency devaluation in certain countries. In addition to the contracts disclosed in Note 22 - Financial Instruments, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, from time to time, the company will enter into forei gn currency exchange contracts to establish with certainty the U.S. dollar ("USD") amount of future firm commitments denominated in a foreff ign currency. ff ff ff Certain foreign entities of the company held USD denominated marketable securities, mainly U.S. government securities, at December 31, 2020. The USD/EUR was the primary foreign exchange exposure for these nonfunctional currency denominated marketable securities. These debt securities were classified as availablea -for-sale marketable securities and as such, fluctuations in foreign exchange were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the Consolidated Statements of Equity. These fluctuations were subsequently reclassified fromff accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings during 2021, which was the period in which the marketable securities were sold. At December 31, 2021, the company no longer held these USD denominated marketablea securities.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated finaff ncial statements are free of material misstatement, to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material whether dued respects. ncial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement Our audits of the consolidated finaff of the consolidated finaff ncial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated finaff ncial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definitiontt and Limi taii ii tions of Internal tt tt Control over FinFF ancial Reportingii ity of finaff A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliabila ncial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and faiff rly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. t Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. F-3 Criticaii l Auditdd Mattersrr ncial The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated finaff statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Goodwill (Se(( e ed Reporti ng Unit) Impairme m nt Assessment ncial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was As described in Notes 2 and 15 to the consolidated finaff $10.1 billion as of December 31, 2021, and the goodwill associated with the seed reporting unit was $5.4 billion. Management tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has declined below its carrying value. Management performs an annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter. If management chooses not to complete a qualitative assessment for a given reporting unit or if the initial assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is required. Management performed quantitative testing on its seed reporting unit and determined that no goodwill impairment existed in 2021. r value for the seed reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model. Management’s significant Management determined faiff al, the terminal growth assumptim ons in this analysis included future cash flow projections, the weighted average cost of capita rate, and the tax rate. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the seed reporting unit goodwill impairment assessment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the seed reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptim ons related to projected revenue, the weighted average cost of capita al, and the terminal value; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated finaff ncial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the seed reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate; (ii) evaluating model; (iii) testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying the appropriateness of the discounted cash flowff model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptim ons used by data used in the discounted cash flowff management related to projected revenue, al, and the terminal value. Evaluating management’s assumptim ons related to projected revenue and the terminal value involved evaluating whether the assumptim ons used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting unit; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptim ons were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Corteva, Inc. is a leading global provider of seed and crop protection solutions focused on the agriculturet industry. The company intends to leverage its rich heritage of scientific achievement to advance its robust innovation pipeline and continue to shapea er productivity around the globe. Corteva has two reportablea segments: seed and crop protection. See Note 25 - Segment Information, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the company's reportablea the future of responsible agriculture. The company's broad portfolio of agriculture solutions fuels farmff segments. Throughout these financial statements, except as otherwise noted by the context, the terms "Corteva" or "company" used herein mean Corteva, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (including EID) and the term “EID” used herein means E. I. du Pont de ont de Nemours and Company excluding its consolidated Nemours and Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or E. I. du Pd subsidiaries, as the context may indicate. Additionally, on June 1, 2019, DowDuPont Inc. changed its registered name to DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (“DuPont”), for certain events prior to, or on, June 1, 2019, DuPont may be referredr to as DowDuPont. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation On June 1, 2019, Corteva, Inc. became an independent, publicly traded company through the completed separation (the business of DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (formerly known as DowDuPont Inc.) (“DowDuPont” or “Separation”) of the agriculturet “DuPont”). The separation was effectuat ed through a pro rata distribution (the “Corteva Distribution”) of all of the then-issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Corteva, Inc., which was then a wholly-owned subsidiary of DowDuPont, to holders of record of DowDuPont common stock as of the close of business on May 24, 2019. t Previously, DowDuPont was forff med on December 9, 2015, to effect an all-stock merger of equals strategic combination between The Dow Chemical Company ("Historical Dow") and EID. On August 31, 2017 at 11:59 pm ET (the “Merger Effect iveness Time”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2015, as amended March 31, ff 2017 (the "Merger Agreement"), Historical Dow and EID each merged with wholly-owned subsidiaries of DowDuPont and became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the “Merger”). Prior to the Merger, DowDuPont did not conduct any business activities other than those required forff ion and matters contemplated by the Merger Agreement. its format ff Subsequent to the Merger, Historical Dow and EID engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps to realign their businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products through a series of tax- efficient transactions (collectively, the "Business Separations”). Effective as of 5:00 pm ET on April 1, 2019, DowDuPont completed the separation of its materials science business into a separate and independent public company by way of a distribution of Dow Inc. (“Dow”) through a pro rata dividend in-kind of all of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Dow’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to holders of DowDuPont's common stock, as of the close of business on March 21, 2019 (the “Dow Distribution” and together with the Corteva Distribution, the “Distributions”). t Prior to the Dow Distribution, Historical Dow conveyed or transferred the assets and liabilities aligned with Historical Dow’s agriculture business to separate legal entities (“Dow Ag Entities”) and the assets and liabilities associated with its specialty products business to separate legal entities (the “Dow SP Entities”). On April 1, 2019, Dow Ag Entities and the Dow SP Entities were transferred and conveyed to DowDuPont. In furtherance of the Business Separations, EID engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps (the “Internal Reorganization” and the "Business Realignment," respectively) to realign its businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products. As part of the Internal Reorganization: • • • • the assets and liabilities aligned with EID’s materials science business (“EID ECP”) were transferred or conveyed to separate legal entities that were ultimately conveyed by DowDuPont to Dow on April 1, 2019; the assets and liabilities aligned with EID’s specialty products business were transferred or conveyed to separate legal entities (“EID Specialty Products Entities”) that were ultimately distributed to DowDuPont on May 1, 2019; on May 2, 2019, DowDuPont conveyed Dow Ag Entities to EID and in connection with the foregoing, EID issued additional shares of its Common Stock to DowDuPont; and on May 31, 2019, DowDuPont contributed EID to Corteva, Inc. On May 6, 2019, the Board of Directors of DowDuPont approved the distribution of all the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Corteva, Inc., then a wholly-owned subsidiary of DowDuPont, to DowDuPont stockholders. On June 1, F-12 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2019, DowDuPont completed the Separation. Each DowDuPont stockholder received one share of Corteva common stock forff every three shares of DowDuPont common stock held at the close of business on May 24, 2019, the record date of distribution. Corteva, Inc.'s common stock began trading the "regular way" under the ticker symbol "CTVA" on June 3, 2019, the first business day after June 1, 2019. Upon becoming an independent company, the capita of Corteva consisted of 748,815,000 authorized shares of common stock (par value of $0.01 per share), which represents the number of common shares issued on June 3, 2019. Information related to the Corteva Distribution and its effect on the company's financial statements is discussed throughout these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. r al struct uret As a result of the Business Realignment and the Internal Reorganization discussed above, Corteva owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of EID. EID is a subsidiary of Corteva, Inc. and continues to be a reporting company, subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. CC on DAS Common Control Business Combinati The transfer or conveyance of DAS to Corteva was treated as a transfer of entities under common control. As such, the company recorded the assets, liabilities, and equity of DAS on its balance sheet at their historical basis. Transfers of businesses between entities under common control requires the financial statements to be presented as if the transaction had occurred at the point at which common control first existed (the Merger Effectiveness Time). As a result, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto include the results of DAS as of the Merger Effectiveness Time. See Note 4 - Common Control Business Combination, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information. For periods prior to the Corteva Distribution, the combined results of operations and assets and liabilities of EID and DAS were derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements and accounting records of EID as well as the carve-out financial statements of DAS. The DAS carve-out financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Historical Dow's Agricultural Sciences Business and include allocations of certain expenses for services from Historical Dow, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, ethics and compliance, shared services, employee benefits and incentives, insurance, and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated on the basis of direct usage when identifiablea , with the remainder allocated under the basis of headcount or other measures. The company's Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented consist of Corteva, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The company's Consolidated Statements of Operations (the "Consolidated Statements of Operations") for all periods prior to the Corteva Distribution consist of the combined results of operations for Historical EID and DAS. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods after the Corteva Distribution represent the consolidated balances of the company. Intercompany balances and transactions with Historical EID and DAS have been eliminated. During the first quarter 2020, the company recorded an increase of $40 million to APIC relating to net assets recorded as transferred as part of the 2019 Internal Reorganizations that were retained. alty Ptt roducts Entities SS CP and EID SII peci Divestiture of EID EII The transfer of EID ECP and EID Specialty Products Entities meets the criteria for discontinued operations and as such, results of operations are presented as discontinued operations and have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. The comprehensive income (loss), stockholder's equity and cash flows related to EID ECP and EID Specialty Products Entities have not been segregated and are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Consolidated Statements of Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, for 2019. Amounts related to EID ECP and EID Specialty Products Entities are consistently included or excluded fromff the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements based on the respective finff ancial statement line item. See Note 5 - Divestitures and Other Transactions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information. Certain reclassifications of prior year's data have been made to conform to current year's presentation. Since 2018, Argentina has been considered a hyper-inflaff tionary economy under U.S. GAAP and therefore the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) is the functional currency for our related subsidiaries. Argentina contributes approximately 5 percent to both the ssets and translate our financial statements utilizing the company's annual Sales and EBITDA. We remeasure net monetary arr official Argentine Peso (“Peso”) to USD exchange rate. The ability to draw down Peso cash balances is limited at this time due to government restrictions and market availability of U.S. Dollars. The devaluation of the Peso relative to the USD over the last several years has resulted in the recognition of exchange losses (refer to Note 9 – Supplementary Information, to the r 10 percent deterioration in the official Peso to USD Consolidated Financial Statements). As of December 31, 2021, a furthe ff F-13 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) exchange rate would reduce the USD value of our net monetary assets and negatively impact pre-tax earnings by approximately $15 million. We will continue to assess the implications to our operations and financial reporting. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the company and subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. For those consolidated subsidiaries in which the company's ownership is less than 100 percent, the outside stockholders' interests are shown as noncontrolling interests. Investments in affiliates over which the company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method. under the equity method of accounting that are variable The company is also involved with certain joint ventures interest entities ("VIEs"). The company is not the primary beneficiary, as the naturet of the company's involvement with the VIEs does not provide it the power to direct the VIEs significant activities. Future events may require these VIEs to be consolidated if the company becomes the primary beneficiary. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the maximum exposure to loss related to the nonconsolidated VIEs is not considered material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. accounted forff t Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptim ons that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The company’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents represent investments with maturiti plus accrued interest. t es of three months or less from time of purchase. They are carried at cost Restricted Cash Equivalents Restricted cash equivalents primarily consist of trust assets and contributions to the MOU Escrow Account of $377 million and $347 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The trust assets are classified as current and the contributions to the MOU Escrow Account are classified as noncurrent and included within other current assets and other assets, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9 - Supplementary Information, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information. Marketable Securities Marketable securities represent investments in fixeff ncial instruments with maturities greater than three d and floating rate finaff months and up to twelve months at time of purchase. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at amortized cost. The carrying value approximates faiff of the investments. Investments classified as debt -for-sale are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component securities that are availablea of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) or current period earnings if an allowance forff credit losses has been establa ished. The cost of investments sold is determined by specific identification. r value due to the short-term naturet Fair Value Measurements Under the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures, a faiff shed that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable quoted prices in active markets forff inputs (Level 3 measurements). A finaff r value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ncial instrument's level within the faiff r value hierarchy was establia F-14 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) The company uses the following valuation techniques to measure faiff r value for its assets and liabia lities: Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets forff identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs (e.g. quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); Level 3 – Unobservable inputs forff the asset or liabia lity, which are valued based on management's estimates of assumptim ons that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liabila ity. Foreign Currency Translation The company's worldwide operations utilize the U.S. dollar ("USD") or a related foreign currency as the functional currency, where applicable. The company identifies its separate and distinct foreign entities and groups the foreign entities into two categories: 1) extension of the parent or foreign subsidiaries operating in a hyper-inflationary environment (USD functional currency) and 2) self-contained (related foreign functional currency). If a forei gn entity does not align with either category, factors are evaluated and a judgment is made to determine the functional currency. ff gn currency-denominated asset and liability amounts are For foreign entities where the USD is the functional currency, all forei re-measured into USD at end-of-period exchange rates, except for inventories, prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are re-measured at historical rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are re- measured at average exchange rates in effect during each month, except for expenses related to balance sheet amounts re- measured at historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from re-measurement of foreign currency- denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in income in the period in which they occur. ff For foreign entities where a related foreign currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities denominated in the related foreign currencies are translated into USD at end-of-period exchange rates and the resultant translation adjustments are reported, net of their related tax effects, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity. Assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency prior to translation into USD and the resultant exchange gains or losses are included in income in the period in which they occur. Income and expenses are translated into USD at average exchange rates in effect during each month. The company changes the functional currency of its separate and distinct foreign entities only when significant changes in economic facff ts and circumstances indicate clearly that the functional currency has changed. Inventories The company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Elements of cost in inventories include raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Stores and supplies are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower; cost is generally determined by the average cost method. a As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately 60% and 40% of the company's inventories were accounted for under the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") and average cost methods, respectively. Inventories accounted for under the FIFO method are primarily comprised of products with shorter shelf lives such as seeds. See Note 13 - Inventories, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information. The company establia demand and market conditions. shes an obsolescence reserve for inventory based upon quality considerations and assumptim ons about future Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. In connection with the Merger, the fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined using a market approach and a replacement cost approach. Depreciation is based on the estimated service lives of depreciable assets and is calculated using the straight-line method. Fully depreciated assets are retained in property and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. When assets are surrendered, retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, their gross carrying values and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and included in determining gain or loss on such disposals. F-15 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets r value of net The company records goodwill when the purchase price of a business acquisition exceeds the estimated faiff identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is tested forff impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit has more likely than not declined below its carrying value. The company performs an annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter. When testing goodwill for impairment, the company has the option to first perform qualitative testing to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the company chooses not to complete a qualitative assessment for a given reporting unit or if the initial assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is required. If additional quantitative testing is required, the reporting unit's fair value is compared with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge, if any, is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, limited to the amount r values for each of the reporting units using a of goodwill associated with the reporting unit. The company determines faiff discounted cash flow model (a form of the income approa ch, fair value is cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. The determined based on the present value of estimated future company's significant assumptim ons in this analysis included future cash flow projections, weighted average cost of capita al, the terminal growth rate, and the tax rate. Under the market approach, the company uses metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions for comparablea companies. See Note 15 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information on goodwill. ch) or the market approach. Under the income approa a a ff Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually; however, these tests are performed more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment exists when carrying value exceeds fair value. The company performs an impairment assessment using the relief from royalty method (a form of the income approach) using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The significant assumptim ons used in the calculation included projected revenue, the royalty rate, the discount rate, and the terminal growth rate. These significant assumptim ons involve management judgment and estimates relating to future operating performance and economic conditions that may differ from actual cash flows. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis for periods ranging primarily from 2 years to 25 years. The company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases The company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the arrangement based on the terms and conditions in the contract. A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset and the company has the right to control the asset. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets are included in other assets on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease liabilities are included in accrued and other current liabilities and other noncurrent obligations on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease assets are included in property, plant and equipment on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease liabilities are included in short-term borrowings and finance lease obligations and long-term debt on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease ROU assets represent the company’s right to use an underlying asset forff the lease term and lease liabilities represent the company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the the company’s leases do not provide the lessor's implicit rate, commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. the company uses its incremental borrowing rate at as a single lease component The company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted forff for all asset classes. In the Consolidated Statements of Operations, lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, interest expense is recognized on the lease liability and the ROU asset is amortized over the lease term. See Note 16 - Leases, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances . The carrying value of a long-lived asset group is considered impaired when indicate the carrying value may not be recoverablea and are less than its carrying value. In that the total projected undiscounted cash flows from the assets are separately identifiablea event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. The F-16 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) company's fair value methodology is an estimate of fair market value which is made based on prices of similar assets or other valuation methodologies including present value techniques. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, if material, are classified as held forff sale and reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and depreciation is ceased. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified as held and used until they are disposed of and reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Depreciation is recognized over the remaining useful life of the assets. Derivative Instruments Derivative instruments are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their faiff r values. The company utilizes derivatives to manage exposures to foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges are recorded in current period earnings. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the gain (loss) is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until it is cleared to earnings during the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings. For derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges, the gain (loss) is reported within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the subsidiary is divested. commitment or an anticipated transaction is terminated prior to the In the event that a derivative designated as a hedge of a firmff maturation of the hedged transaction, the net gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) generally remains in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the item that was hedged affects earnings. If a hedged transaction matures, or is sold, extinguished, or terminated prior to the maturity of a derivative designated as a hedge of such transaction, gains or losses associated with the derivative through the date the transaction maturet d are included in the measurement of the trading purposes. Derivatives designated as hedges of anticipated hedged transaction and the derivative is reclassified as forff transactions are reclassified as forff trading purposes if the anticipated transaction is no longer probable. The company included forei gn currency exchange contract settlements within cash flows from operating activities, regardless of hedge accounting qualification. See Note 22 - Financial Instruments, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional discussion regarding the company's objectives and strategies forff derivative instruments. ff Environmental Matters Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liabia lity has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Accruals ities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accrued and other current liabilities and other noncurrent obligations at undiscounted amounts. ities are recorded when it is probable that a Accruals for related insurance or other third-party recoveries forff recovery will be realized and are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as accounts and notes receivablea for environmental liabila environmental liabila - net. rr Environmental costs are capita alized if the costs extend the life of the property, increase its capacity, and/odd r mitigate or prevent contamination from future operations. Environmental costs are also capitalized in recognition of legal asset retirement the acquisition, construction and/or normal operation of a long-lived asset. Costs related to obligations resulting fromff environmental contamination treatment and cleanup are charged to expense. Estimated future incremental operations, maintenance and management costs directly related to remediation are accrued when such costs are probable and reasonably estimable. ff Revenue Recognition The company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the company determines are within the scope of FASB ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity s atisfies a performance obligation. See Note 6 - Revenue, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on revenue recognition. t Prepaid Royalties The company currently has certain third-party biotechnology trait license agreements, which require up-front and variable ted as other current assets and other payments subject to the licensor meeting certain conditions. These payments are reflecff assets and are amortized to cost of goods sold as seeds containing the respective trait technology are utilized over the life of the license. The rate of royalty amortization expense recognized is based on the company’s strategic plans which include various assumptions and estimates including product portfolio, market dynamics, farmer preferences, growth rates and projected planted acres. Changes in factors and assumptim ons included in the strategic plans, including potential changes to the product portfolio in favff or of internally developed biotechnology, could impact the rate of recognition of the relevant prepaid royalty. u F-17 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) At December 31, 2021, the balance of prepaid royalties reflected in other current assets and other assets was $303 million and $256 million, respectively. The majoa rity of the balance of prepaid royalties relates to the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.’s (“Pioneer”) non-exclusive license in the United States and Canada for the Monsanto Company's Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® glyphosate tolerance trait and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® glyphosate and dicamba tolerance trait forff soybeans (“Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement”). Each of these licensed technologies are now trademarks of the Bayer Group, which acquired the Monsanto Company in 2018. The prepaid royalty asset relates to a series of up-front, fixed and variable royalty payments to utilize the traits in Pioneer’s soybean product mix.The company’s historical expectation has been that the technology licensed under the Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement would be used as the primary herbicide tolerance trait platform in the Pioneer® brand soybean through the term of the agreement. DAS and MS Technologies, L.L.C. jointly developed and own the Enlist E3TM herbicide tolerance trait forff soybeans which provides tolerance to 2, 4-D choline in Enlist Duo® and Enlist One® herbicides, as well as glyphosate and glufosinate herbicides. In connection with the validation of breeding plans and large-scale product development timelines, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the company f the Enlist E3TM trait platform in the company’s soybean portfolio mix across all brands, including accelerated the ramp up ou Pioneer® brands, over the subsequent five years. During the ramp-up period, the company is expected to significantly reduce the volume of products with the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits beginning in 2021, with expected minimal use of the trait platform thereafter for the remainder of the Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement (the “Transition Plan”). The rate of royalty expense has therefore increased significantly through higher amortization of the prepaid royalty as fewff er seeds containing the respective trait are expected to be utilized. In connection with the departure fromff these traits, beginning January 1, 2020 the company presents and discloses the non-cash accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense as a component of restructuring and asset related charges - net, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense represents the difference between the rate of amortization based on the revised number of units expected to contain the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® trait technology and the variablea cash rate per the Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement. Further changes in factors and assumptim ons associated with usage of the trait platform licensed under the Roundup Ready 2 License Agreement, including the Transition Plan, could furthe r impact the rate of recognition of the prepaid royalty and Consolidated Statement of Operations presentation of the accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense. ff Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold primarily includes the cost of manufacture and delivery, ingredients or raw materials, direct salaries, wages al projects, royalties and other operational expenses. No and benefits and overhead, non-capita amortization of intangibles is included within cost of goods sold. alizable costs associated with capita Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense includes costs (primarily consisting of employee costs, materials, contract services, research agreements, and other external spend) relating to the discovery and development of new products. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include selling and marketing expenses, commissions, functional costs, and business management expenses. Integration and Separation Costs Integration and separation costs includes costs incurred to prepare for and close the Merger, post-Merger integration expenses, and costs incurred to prepare for the Business Separations. These costs primarily consist of finaff ncial advisory, information technology, legal, accounting, consulting and other professional advisory fees associated with preparation and execution of these activities. Litigation and Other Contingencies Accruals for legal matters and other contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liabia lity has been incurredr and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs, such as outside counsel fees and expenses, are charged to expense in the period incurred. Severance Costs Severance benefits are provided to employees under the company's ongoing benefit arrangements. Severance costs are accrued when management commits to a plan of termination and it becomes probable that employees will be entitled to benefits at amounts that can be reasonably estimated. F-18 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Insurance/Self-Insurance The company self-insures certain risks where permitted by law or regulation, including workers' compensation, vehicle liabia lity and employee related benefits. Liabilities associated with these risks are estimated in part by considering historical claims rial assumptions. For other risks, the company uses a combination of insurance experience, demographic facff and self-insurance, reflecting comprehensive reviews of relevant risks. A receivable forff an insurance recovery is generally . recognized when the loss has occurred and collection is considered probablea tors and other actuat Income Taxes The company accounts forff income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets or liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The company recognizes the financial statement effect s of an uncertain income tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The current portion of uncertain income tax positions is included in income taxes payablea or income tax receivable, and the long-term portion is included in other noncurrent obligations or other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ff Income tax related penalties are included in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits is included within the provision for (benefit from) income taxes from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Earnings per Common Share The calculation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of the company’s common shares outstanding for the applicablea period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share reflects the effect of all potential common shares that were outstanding during the respective periods, unless the effecff t of doing so is antidilutive. NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which provides certain optional expedients that allow derivative instruments impacted by changes in the interest rate used for margining, discounting or contract he amendments in this Update are effective immediately for all entities price alignment to qualify for certain optional relief.

The adoption of ASU 2021-01 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows. a In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is part of the FASB’s Simplification Initiative to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of U.S. GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced, while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. This ASU amends ASC 740, Income Taxes, by removing certain exceptions to the general principles, and clarifying and amending current guidance. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of December 31, 2021 In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which requires business entities to disclose transactions with a governmental entity for which a grant or contribution accounting model is used in recognizing and measuring such transactions. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. NOTE 4 - COMMON CONTROL BUSINESS COMBINATIONS DAS Common Control Combination Based on an evaluation of the provisions of ASC 805 (Business Combinations), Corteva and DAS represented entities under common control, as both shared DowDuPont as their parent company. As a result, the assets, liabilities and operations of F-19 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Corteva and DAS were combined at their historical carryinrr g amounts, and periods prior to the Internal Reorganizations are adjusted as if Corteva and DAS had been combined since the Merger Effectiveness Time, when the entities were first under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto were retrospectively revised to include the transferred net assets and results of operations of DAS beginning on September 1, 2017. Refer to Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation, for additional information on the common control combination. in 2019, Intercompany balances and transactions with Historical EID and DAS have been eliminated. NOTE 5 - DIVESTITURES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS Separation Agreements In connection with the Distributions, DuPont, Corteva, and Dow (together, the “Parties” and each a “Party”) entered into certain agreements to effect the separation, provide for the allocation of DowDuPont’s assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including its investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) among the Parties, and provide ework for Corteva's relationship with Dow and DuPont following the separations and Distributions (collectively, the a framff "Separation Agreements"). Effective April 1, 2019, the Parties entered into the following agreements referred to herein as: the Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Corteva Separation Agreement”); the Tax Matters Agreement; the Employee Matters Agreement; and the Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement. Effective June 1, 2019, in connection with the Corteva Distribution, Corteva and DuPont entered into the following agreements: the Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement (the “Corteva-DuPont IP Cross-License Agreement”); the Letter Agreement; and the Amended and Restated Tax Matters Agreement. DuPontPP Pursuant to the Separation Agreements, DuPont and Corteva indemnifies the other against certain litigation, environmental, tax, workers' compensation and other liabia lities that arose prior to the Corteva Distribution. The term of this indemnification is generally indefinite and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. In connection with the recognition of liabilities related to these matters, the company records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. At December 31, 2021, the indemnification assets are $25 million within accounts and notes receivable - net and $75 million within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2021, the indemnification liabilities are $75 million within other noncurrent obligations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Dow Pursuant to the Separation Agreements, Dow and Corteva indemnifies the other against certain litigation, environmental, tax and other liabia lities that arose prior to the Corteva Distribution. The term of this indemnification is generally indefinite and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. In connection with the recognition of liabilities related to these matters, the company records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. At December 31, 2021, the indemnification liabilities are $20 million within accrued and other current liabilities and $42 million within other noncurrent obligations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. F-20 Corteva, Inc.

As a result, the financial results of the EID Specialty Products Entities are reflected as discontinued operations, as summarized below: (In millions) Net sales Cost of goods sold Research and development expense Selling, general and administrative expenses Amortization of intangibles Restructuring and asset related charges - net Integration and separation costs Goodwill impairment Other income - net (Loss) income from discontinued operations before income taxes Provision for (benefit fromff ) income taxes on discontinued operations (Loss) income from discontinued operations after income taxes For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 $ $ 5,030 3,352 204 573 267 115 253 1,102 57 (779) 80 (859) II nt EID Specialty Products Itt mpairme As a result of the Merger and related acquisition method of accounting, Historical DuPont's assets and liabilities were measured at fair value resulting in increases to the company’s goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value valuation increased the risk that any declines in financial projections, including changes to key assumptions, could have a material, negative impact on the fair value of the company’s reporting units and assets, and therefore could result in an impairment. As a result of the Internal Reorganization, in the second quarter of 2019, EID assessed the recoverabila ity of the goodwill within transportation and advanced polymers, the electronics and communications, protection solutions, nutrition and health, packaging and specialty plastics, industrial biosciences, and clean technologies reporting units, and the overall carrying value of the net assets in the disposal group that was distributed to DowDuPont on May 1, 2019. As a result of this analysis, the company determined that the fair value of certain reporting units related to the EID specialty products businesses were below carrying value resulting in pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charges totaling $1,102 million reflected in (loss) income from discontinued operations after income taxes. Revised finaff ncial projections reflect unfavorablea market conditions, driven by slowed demand in the biomaterials business unit, coupled with challenging conditions in U.S. bioethanol markets. These revised financial projections resulted in a reduction in the long-term forecasts of sales and profitability as compared to prior projections. F-22 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) a models (a formff of the income approa using discounted cash flowff The company’s analyses above ch) utilized Level 3 unobservable inputs. The company’s significant assumptions in these analyses include, but are not limited to, future cash flow projections, the weighted average cost of capital, the terminal growth rate, and the tax rate. The company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on current regulatory and economic climates, recent operating results, and planned business strategies. These estimates could be negatively affected by changes in federal, state, or local regulations or economic downturns. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, the company’s estimates. The of the market approach (utilizes Level 3 unobservable inputs), which is derived from metrics of company also used a formff publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparablea businesses. The selection of comparablea businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services.

The company applied the net asset value method under the cost approach to determine the fair value of the equity method investments in the EID specialty products businesses. Based on updated projections, the company determined the fair value of an equity method investment was below the carrying value and had no expectation the fair value would recover in the short-term due to the current economic environment. As a result, management concluded the impairment was other-than-temporary and recorded an impairment charge of $63 million, reflected in (loss) income from discontinued operations after income taxes. Additionally, this impairment is reflected within restructuring and asset related charges - net in the year ended December 31, 2019, within the table above. a The following tablea operations related to the EID Specialty Products Entities: presents the depreciation, amortization of intangibles, and capita al expenditures of the discontinued (In millions) Depreciation Amortization of intangibles Capita al expenditures t For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 $ 281 267 481 Merger Remedy - Divested Ag Business As a condition of the regulatory approval forff the Merger, including by the European Commission, EID was required to divest (the “Divested Ag Business”) certain assets related to its crop protection business and research and development ("R&D") organization, specifically EID’s Cereal Broadleaf Herbicr ides and Chewing Insecticides portfolios, including Rynaxypyr®, Cyazypyr® and Indoxacarb as well as the crop protection R&D pipeline and organization, excluding seed treatment, nematicides, and late-stage R&D programs.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) NOTE 6 - REVENUE Revenue Recognition Productstt Substantially all of Corteva's revenue is derived from product sales. Product sales consist of sales of Corteva's products to farmers, distributors, and manufacturers. Corteva considers purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply agreements, to be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short-term when the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of the performanc e obligations is equal to or less than one year. However, the company has some long-term contracts which can span multiple years. ff Revenue from product sales is recognized when the customer obtains control of the company's product, which occurs at a point in time according to shipping terms. Payment terms are generally less than one year fromff invoicing. The company elected the practical expedient and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the company expects it will be one year or less between when a customer obtains control of the company's product and when payment is due. When the company performs shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the customer (e.g., when control transfers prior to or at shipment), these are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected fromff customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded fromff revenues. In addition, the company elected the practical expedient to expense any costs to obtain contracts as incurred, as the amortization period for these costs would have been one year or less. The transaction price includes estimates of variable consideration, such as rights of return, rebates, and discounts, that are reductions in revenue. All estimates are based on the company's historical experience, anticipated performance, and the company's best judgment at the time the estimate is made. Estimates of variable consideration included in the transaction price primarily utilize the expected value method based on historical experience. These estimates are reassessed each reporting period and are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur upon resolution of uncertainty associated with the variable consideration. The majoa rity of contracts have a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time and the transaction price is stated in the contract, usually as quantity times price per unit. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price is the observablea price which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. t Licenses of Intellectual Property Corteva enters into licensing arrangements with customers under which it licenses its intellectual property. Revenue from the property licenses is derived from sales-based royalties. Revenue for licensing agreements that contain majori a sales-based royalties is recognized at the later of (i) when the subsequent sale occurs or (ii) when the performanc e obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated is satisfied. ty of intellectual ff t Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. The company applies the practical expedient to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for only those contracts with an original duration of one year or more. The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations with an original durati on of more than one year related to material rights granted to customers for contract renewal options were $123 million and $115 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The company expects revenue to be recognized for the remaining performance obligations evenly over the period of 1 year to 6 years. d Contract Balances ities primarily reflect deferred revenue from prepayments under contracts with customers where the company Contract liabila receives advance payments for products to be delivered in future periods. Corteva classifies deferred revenue as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the company expects to recognize revenue. Contract assets primarily include amounts related to conditional rights to consideration for completed performance not yet invoiced. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. F-24 Corteva, Inc.

The company enters into various factoring agreements with third-party finaff ons to sell its trade receivables under both recourse and non-recourse agreements in exchange for cash proceeds. These financing arrangements result in a transfer of the company's receivables and risks to the third-party. As these transfers qualify as true sales under the applicablea accounting transfer, and the company receives a guidance, the receivables are derecognized fromff payment for the receivables fromff ly agreed upon time period.

The company tests goodwill for impairment annually (during the fourth quarter), or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has declined below its carrying value. As mentioned in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, as a result of the Internal Reorganizations and Business Realignments, the company changed its reportable segments to seed and crop protection to reflect the manner in which the company's chief operating decision maker assesses performance and allocates resources. The change in reportable segments resulted in changes to the company's reporting units forff goodwill impairment testing to align with the level at which discrete financial information is availablea for review by management. The company’s reporting units include seed, crop protection and digital. During the second quarter of 2020, the company determined a triggering event had occurred as a result of changes in the company's long-term projections driven largely by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mid-term forecasted cash ed by flows of the business, including, but not limited to currency fluctuations, expectations of future planted area (as influenc consumer demand, ethanol markets and government policies and regulations) and relative commodity prices, which required an interim impairment assessment for its seed and crop protection reporting units and trade name indefinite lived intangible asset. Based on the impairment analysis performed over the company’s trade name indefinite lived intangible asset it was determined that the fair value approximated the carrying value, and no impairment charge was necessary. ff ff The company performed quantitative testing on all of its reporting units and determined that no goodwill impairments existed in 2021 and 2020.

The company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 50 years. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the company will exercise that option. Some leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons, such as insurance and tax payments. The variable lease payments are not presented as part of the initial ROU asset or lease liabia lity. Certain of the company's leases include residual value guarantees. These residual value guarantees are based on a percentage of the lessor's asset acquisition price and the amount of such guarantee declines over the course of the lease term. The portion of residual value guarantees that are probable of payment are included in the related lease liability.

NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES t Guarantees Indemnificff ations In connection with acquisitions and divestitures, the company has indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with these transactions and business activities prior to the completion of the transactions. The term of these indemnifications, which typically pertain to environmental, tax and product liabilities, is generally indefinite. In addition, nted directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the company indemnifies its duly elected or appoi the company, such as adverse judgments relating to litigation matters. against liabilities incurred as a result of their activities forff If the indemnified party were to incur a liabia lity or have a liabila ity increase as a result of a successful claim, pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, the company would be required to reimburse the indemnified party. The maximum amount of potential future payments is generally unlimited. See below for additional information relating to the indemnification obligations under the Corteva Separation Agreement and the Chemours Separation Agreement. a t Third Parties Obligations for Customers and Other The company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with third parties related to customers and other third parties. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the company had directly guaranteed $105 million and $94 million, respectively, of such obligations. These amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the company could be required to make under the guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed party. All of the maximum future payments at December 31, 2021, had terms less than one year. The maximum future payments include $21 million and $17 million of guarantees related to the various factoring agreements that the company enters into with third- party finaff ons to sell its trade receivables at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 12 - Accounts and Notes Receivable - Net, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information. ncial instituti t The maximum future payments also include agreements with lenders to establia sh programs that provide financing for select customers. The terms of the guarantees are equivalent to the terms of the customer loans that are primarily made to finance customer invoices. The total amounts owed from customers to the lenders relating to these agreements was $15 million and $16 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The company assesses the payment/ptt erformance risk by assigning default rates based on the duration of the guarantees. These default rates are assigned based on the external credit rating of the counterparty or through internal credit analysis and historical default history for counterparties that do not have published credit ratings. For counterparties without an external rating or available credit history, a cumulative average default rate is used. Indemnifii cations under Separation Agreements The company has entered into various agreements where the company is indemnified for certain liabilities. In connection with the recognition of liabilities related to these matters, the company records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. See Note 5 - Divestitures and Other Transactions, additional information related to indemnifications between Corteva, DuPont and Dow. to the Consolidated Financial Statements, forff Chemours/Performance Chemicals Pursuant to the Chemours Separation Agreement resulting fromff f the Perforff mance Chemicals segment froff m Historical DuPont, Chemours indemnifies the company against certain litigation, environmental, workers' compensation and other liabia lities that arose prior to the distribution. The term of this indemnification is generally indefinite and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. In connection with the recognition of liabilities related to these matters, the company records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. the 2015 spin-off off In 2017, the Chemours Separation Agreement was amended to provide for a limited sharing of potential future liabilities related -year period that began on to alleged historical releases of perfluorooctanoic acids and its ammonium salts (“PFOA”) forff a fiveff F-44 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) July 6, 2017. In addition, in 2017, Chemours and EID settled multi-district litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (“Ohio MDL”), resolving claims of about 3,550 plaintiffs alleging injury from exposure to PFOA in drinking water as a result of the historical manufacture or use of PFOA at the Washington Works plant outside Parkersburg, West Virginia. This plant was previously owned and/or operated by the perforff mance chemicals segment of EID and is now owned and/or operated by Chemours. On May 13, 2019, Chemours filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against DuPont, EID, and Corteva, seeking, among other things, to limit its responsibility for the litigation and environmental liabia lities allocated to and assumed by Chemours under the Chemours Separation Agreement (the “Delaware Litigation”). On March 30, 2020, the Court of Chancery granted a motion to dismiss. On December 15, 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Chancery. Meanwhile, a confidential arbitration process regarding the same and other claims has proceeded (the “Pending Arbit ration”). r On January 22, 2021, Chemours, DuPont, Corteva and EID entered into a binding memorandum of understanding containing a settlement to resolve legal disputes originating from the Delaware Litigation and Pending Arbitration, and to establia sh a cost sharing arrangement and escrow account to be used to support and manage potential future legacy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) liabilities arising out of pre-July 1, 2015 conduct (the “MOU”). The MOU replaces the 2017 amendment to the Chemours Separation Agreement. According to the terms of the cost sharing arrangement within the MOU, Corteva and DuPont together, on one hand, and Chemours, on the other hand, agreed to a 50-50 split of certain qualified expenses related to PFAS liabilities incurred over a term not to exceed twenty years or $4 billion of qualified spend and escrow account contributions (see below for discussion of escrow account) in the aggregate. DuPont’s and Corteva’s 50% share under the MOU will be limited to $2 billion, including qualified expenses and escrow contributions.

The charges recorded for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily relate to an increase in the environmental remediation accrual for Chemours' Fayetteville Works facility forff estimated costs for on-site surface water and groundwater remediation to address and abate PFAS discharges arising out of pre-July 1, 2015 conduct. The increase is the result of further detailed engineering and design work related to Chemours’ environmental remediation activities at the site under the Consent Order between Chemours and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. The charges recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020 F-45 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) primarily related to the execution of the MOU and the settlement of the Ohio MDL PFOA personal injury litigation (as discussed below). g p Corteva Separation Agreement On April 1, 2019, in connection with the Dow Distribution, Corteva, DuPont and Dow entered into the Corteva Separation Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement, and certain other agreements (collectively, the “Corteva Separation Agreements”). The Corteva Separation Agreements allocate among Corteva, DuPont and Dow certain liabilities and obligations among the parties and provides forff indemnification obligation among the parties. Under the Corteva Separation Agreements, DuPont will indemnify Corteva against certain litigation, environmental, workers' compensation and other liabia lities that arose prior to the Corteva Distribution and (ii) Dow indemnifies Corteva against certain litigation and other liabilities that relate to the Historical Dow business, but were transferred over as part of the common control combination with DAS, and Corteva indemnifies DuPont and Dow for certain liabilities. The term of this indemnification is generally indefinite with exceptions, and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. See Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation, and Note 5 - Divestitures and Other Transactions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information relating to the Separation. Under the Corteva Separation Agreement, certain legacy EID liabilities from discontinued and/or divested operations and businesses of EID (including Performance Chemicals) (a “stray liabia lity”) were allocated to Corteva or DuPont. For those stray liabilities allocated to Corteva (which may include a specified amount of liability associated with that liabia lity), Corteva is responsible for liabilities in an amount up to that specified amount plus an additional $200 million and, for those stray liabilities allocated to DuPont (which may include a specified amount of liability associated with that liabia lity), DuPont is responsible for liabilities up to a specified amount plus an additional $200 million. Once each company has met the $200 million threshold, Corteva and DuPont will share future liabilities proportionally on the basis of 29% and 71%, respectively; provided, however, PFAS, DuPont will manage such liabilities with Corteva and DuPont sharing the costs on a 50% - 50% basis starting that forff from $1 and up to $300 million (with such amount, up to $150 million, to be credited to each company’s $200 million threshold) and once the $300 million threshold is met, then the companies will share proportionally on the basis of 29% and 71% respectively, subject to a $1 million de minimis requirement. During the second quarter of 2021, the aggregate amount of . the Company’s cash spent and liabilities accrued exceeded the stray liability thresholds, including PFAS, noted above Therefore, liabia lities recognized subsequent to the second quarter of 2021 will be shared at the reduced . d rates noted above a a Litigation g The company is subject to various legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, product liability, intellectual property, antitrust, commercial, property damage, personal injury, environmental and regulatory matters arising out of the normal course of its current businesses or legacy EID businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses but allocated to Corteva as part of the separation of Corteva from DuPont. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various proceedings, as considerablea uncertainty exists. The company records accruals for legal matters when the information available indicates that it is probable that a liabia lity has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accruals may reflect the impact and status of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice from counsel and other information and events that may pertain to a particular matter. For the litigation matters discussed below, management believes that it is reasonably possible that the company could incur liabilities in excess of amounts accrued, the ultimate liability for which could be material to the results of operations and the cash flows in the period recognized. However, the company is unable to estimate the possible loss beyond amounts accrued due to various reasons, including, among others, that the underlying matters are either in early stages and/or have significant factual issues to be resolved. In addition, even when the company believes it has substantial defenses, the company may consider settlement of matters if it believes it is in the best interest of the company. ww Lawsuits Chlorpyrifosff As of December 31, 2021, there were pending personal injury lawsuits filed and additional asserted claims against the former Dow Agrosciences LLC, alleging injuries related to chlorpyrifos exposure, the active ingredient in Lorsban®, an insecticide crops. Corteva ended its production of Lorsban® in 2020. r field fruit used by commercial farms forff purchase or use by the general public, and may Chlorpyrifos products are restricted-use pesticides, which are not available forff only be sold to, and used by, certified appl cator's direct supervision. These lawsuits icators or someone under the certified appli a do not relate to Dursban®, a residential type chlorpyrifos product that was authorized for indoor purposes, which was discontinued over two decades ago prior to the Merger and Corteva’s formation and Separation. Claimants allege personal injury, including autism, developmental delays and/or decreased neurologic function, resulting from farm worker exposure and bystander drift and in utero exposure to chlorpyrifos. Certain claimants have also put forth remediation claims due to alleged property contamination from chlorpyrifos. Discovery is expected to continue through 2022. , nut and vegetablea a F-46 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Litigation related to legacy e EID businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses PFOA, PFOPP S and Other Related Liabilities PFAS,FF For purposes of this report, the term PFOA means collectively perfluff orooctanoic acid and its salts, including the ammonium salt and does not distinguish between the two forms, and PFAS, including PFOA, PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid), GenX and other perfluorinated chemicals and compounds ("PFCs"). EID is a party to various legal proceedings relating to the use of PFOA by its forme potential liabilities would be subjeu ct to the cost sharing arrangement under the MOU as long as it remains effective. r Performance Chemicals segment forff which ff Leach Settlement and Ohio MDL Settlement EID has residual liabilities under its 2004 settlement of a West Virginia state court class action, Leach v. EID, which alleged that PFOA from EID’s former Washington Works facility had contaminated area drinking water supplies and affected the health of area residents. The settlement class has about 80,000 members. In addition to relief that was provided to class members years ago, the settlement requires EID to continue providing PFOA water treatment to six area water districts and private well users and to fund, through an escrow account, up to $235 million for a medical monitoring program for eligible class members. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $2 million had been disbursed fromff the account since its a establishment in 2012 and the remaining balance is approxim ately $1 million. a nted under the settlement reported in 2012 had a “probablea claims for six health conditions (and no others) that an The Leach settlement permits class members to pursue personal injury expert panel appoi link” (as defined in the settlement) with PFOA: pregnancy-induced hypertension, including preeclampsia; kidney cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid disease; ulcerative colitis; and diagnosed high cholesterol. After the panel reported its findings, approximately 3,550 personal injury lawsuits were filed in federal and state courts in Ohio and West Virginia and consolidated in multi-district litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (“Ohio MDL”). Ohio MDL was settled in early 2017 for $670.7 million in cash, with Chemours and EID (without indemnification from Chemours) each paying half. n j y Post-MDL Settlement PFOA Personal Injury Claims The 2017 Ohio MDL settlement did not resolve claims of plaintiffs who did not have claims in the Ohio MDL or whose claims are based on diseases first diagnosed after February 11, 2017. The first was a consolidated trial of two cases; the first, a kidney cancer case, which resulted in a hung jury, while the second, Travis and Julie Abbot v. E.I du Pont de Nemours and Company (the “Abbot Case”), a testicular cancer case, resulted in a jury verdict of $40 million in compensatory damages and $10 million for loss of consortium. The loss of consortium award was subsequently reduced to $250,000 in accordance with state law limitations. Following entry of the judgment by the court, EID filed post-trial motions to reduce the verdict, and to appeal the verdict on the basis of procedural and substantive legal errors made by the trial court. The company believes the merits of the appeal will be successfulff in reducing the jury verdict or eliminating its liabila ity, in whole or part. m In January 2021, Chemours, DuPont and Corteva agreed to settle the remaining approximately 95 matters, as well as unfiled matters, remaining in the Ohio MDL, with the exception of the Abbot case, for $83 million, with Chemours contributing $29 million to the settlement, and DuPont and Corteva contributing $27 million each. The company recorded a liabia lity for its share of the settlement, with a charge to (loss) income from discontinued operations after income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, during the year ended December 31, 2020, and paid $27 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. As agreed to in the settlement, the plaintiffs' counsel filed a motion to dissolve the MDL. Other PFOA Matters EID is a party to other PFOA lawsuits that do not involve claims for personal injury. Defense costs and any future liabilities that may arise out of these lawsuits are subject to the MOU and the cost sharing arrangement disclosed above. Under the MOU, fraudulent conveyance claims associated with these matters are not qualified expenses, unless Corteva, Inc. and EID would prevail on the merits of these claims. New York. EID is a defendant in about 50 lawsuits, including a putative class action, brought by persons who live in and around Hoosick Falls, New York. These lawsuits assert claims forff medical monitoring and property damage based on alleged PFOA releases from manufacturing facilities owned and operated by co-defendants in Hoosick Falls and allege that EID and 3M supplied some of the materials used at these facilities. EID is also one of more than ten defendants in a lawsuit brought by the Town of East Hampton, New York alleging PFOA and PFOS contamination of the town’s well water. Additionally, EID, along with 3M, Chemours and Dyneon, have been named defendants in complaints filff ed by eleven water districts in Nassau County, New York alleging that the drinking water they provide to F-47 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) customers is contaminated with PFAS and seeking reimbursement for clean-up costs. The water district complaints also include allegations of fraudulent transfer. New Jerseyy. At December 31, 2021, two lawsuits were pending, one brought by a local water utility and the second a putative class action, against EID alleging that PFOA from EID’s former Chambers Works facility contaminated drinking water sources. The putative class action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudi ce by the plaintiff. e In late March of 2019, the New Jersey State Attorney General filff ed four lawsuits against EID, Chemours, 3M and former EID sites in New Jersey (Chambers Works, Pompton others alleging that operations at and discharges fromff Lakes, Parlin and Repauno) damaged the State’s natural resources. Two of these lawsuits (those involving the t Chambers Works and Parlin sites) allege contamination from PFAS. The Ridgewood Water District in New Jersey filed suit in the first quarter 2019 against EID, 3M, Chemours, and Dyneon alleging losses related to the investigation, remediation and monitoring of polyfluorinated surfactants, including PFOA, in water supplies. DuPont and Corteva were subsequently added as defendants to these lawsuits. These lawsuits include claims under the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act (“ISRA”)RR and for fraudulent conveyance. Alabama / Others. EID is one of more than thirty defendants in a lawsuit by the Alabama water utility alleging contamination from PFCs, including PFOA, used by co-defendant carpet manufacturers to make their products more stain and grease resistant. In addition, the states of Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, South Dakota, and Vermont recently filed lawsuits against EID, Chemours, 3M and others, claiming, among other things, PFC (including PFOA) contamination of groundwater and drinking water. The complaints seek reimbursement for past and future costs to investigate and remediate the alleged contamination and compensation for the loss of value and use of the state’s natural resources. Motions to dismiss the Michigan, Vermont and New Hampshire cases have been denied. t Ohio. EID is a defendant in three lawsuits: an action by the State of Ohio based on alleged damage to natural resources, a putative nationwide class action brought on behalf of anyone who has detectable levels of PFAS in their blood serum, and an action by the City of Dayton claiming losses related to the investigation, remediation and monitoring of PFAS in water supplies. The trial with respect to the natural resources lawsuit is scheduled forff April 2023. t t Netherlands. In April 2021, four municipalities in the Netherlands filed complaints alleging contamination of land and groundwater resulting from the emission of PFOA and GenX by Corteva, DuPont and Chemours. The municipalities investigation costs, construction seek to recover costs incurred dued project delays, depreciation of land, soil remediation, liabilities to contractors, and attorneys’ fees. to the alleged emissions, including damages forff ff Delaware. On July 13, 2021, Chemours, DuPont, EID and Corteva entered into a settlement agreement with the State y resolve claims alleged against the of Delaware reflecting the companies' and the State's agreement to settle and full companies regarding their historical Delaware operations, manufacturing, use and disposal of all chemical compounds, including PFAS. Under the settlement, the companies will collectively pay $50 million to fund environmental projects, including sampling and community environmental justice and equity grants, which shall be utilized to fundff the Natural Resources and Sustainability Trust (the “NRST Trust”). If the companies, individually or jointly, within 8 years of the settlement, enter into a proportionally similar agreement to settle or resolve claims of another state forff PFAS-related resource damages, for an amount greater than $50 million, the companies shall make a supplemental payment natural t directly to the NRST Trust (“Supplemental Payment”) in an amount equal to such other states’ recovery in excess of $50 million. Supplemental Payment(s), if any, will not exceed $25 million in the aggregate. All amounts paid by the companies under the settlement are subject to the MOU and the Corteva Separation Agreement with Chemours bearing responsibility forff 50%, or $25 million, of the $50 million payment due to the NRST and DuPont and Corteva each bearing $12.5 million of the remaining amount, which Corteva paid in January 2022. As of December 31, 2021, an accrual has been established in relation to this settlement and during the year ended December 31, 2021, the company recorded a charge of $11 million to (loss) income from discontinued operations after income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under the settlement, if the state sues other parties and those parties seek contribution from the companies, the companies will have protection from contribution up to the amounts previously paid under the settlement agreement. The companies will also receive a credit up tu o the amount of the payment if the state seeks t natural resource damage claims against the companies outside the scope of the settlement’s release of claims. r t g q Aqueous Firefighting Foams. against 3M and other defendants, including g EID and Chemours, and more recently also including Corteva and DuPont, alleging PFOS or PFOA contamination of the use of aqueous firefighting foams.

While EID made surfactants and intermediaries that some manufacturers used in making foams, which may have contained PFOA as an unintended byproduct or an impurity, EID’s products were not formulated with PFOA, nor was PFOA an ingredient of these products. EID has never made or sold PFOA as a commercial product. y y, Fayetteville Works Facility, North Carolina Prior to the separation of Chemours, EID introduced GenX as a polymerization processing aid and a replacement for PFOA at the Fayetteville Works faci lity in Bladen County, North Carolina. The facility is now owned and operated by Chemours, which ff continues to manufacturet and use GenX. ff At December 31, 2021, several actions are pending in federal court against Chemours and EID relating to PFC discharges from the Fayetteville Works faci lity. One of these is a consolidated putative class action that asserts claims for medical monitoring and property damage on behalf of putative classes of property owners and residents in areas near or who draw drinking water Fear River.

Generally, site-related expenses related GenX claims are subject to the cost sharing arrangements as defined in the MOU. F-49 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Environmental Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liabia lity has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. These obligations are included in accrued and other current liabilities and other noncurrent obligations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 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. Inherent uncertainties exist in these estimates primarily due to unknown conditions, changing governmental regulations and legal standards regarding liability, and emerging remediation technologies forff handling site remediation and restoration.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) NOTE 19 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Common Stock As discussed in Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation, on June 1, 2019, Corteva, Inc.'s common stock was distributed to DowDuPont stockholders by way of a pro rata distribution. Each DowDuPont stockholder received one share of Corteva, Inc. common stock for every three shares of DowDuPont common stock held at the close of business on May 24, 2019, the record date of distribution.

In connection with the 2019 Share Buyback Plan, the company repurchased and retired 15,378,000 shares, 8,503,000 shares, and 824,000 shares in the open market for a total cost of $700 million, $275 million, and $25 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Repurchases under the 2019 Share Buyback Plan were completed during the third quarter of 2021. d Shares repurchased pursuant to Corteva's share buyback plan are immediately retired upon repurchase. Repurchased common stock is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The company's accounting policy related to its share repurchases is to reduce its common stock based on the par value of the shares and to reduce its retained earnings for the excess of the repurchase price over the par value. When Corteva has an accumulated deficit balance, the excess over the par value is applied to APIC. When Corteva has retained earnings, the excess is charged entirely to retained earnings.

Where permitted by appl right to change, modify or discontinue the plans. a icable law, the company reserves the Defined Benefit Pension Plans The company has both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering a majority of the U.S. employees and employees in a number of other countries. The principal U.S. pension plan is the largest pension plan held by Corteva. Effective January 1, 2007, a majority of new hires are not eligible to participate in the U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The company froze the pay and service amounts used to calculate the pension benefits forff active employees who participate in these plans on November 30, 2018, resulting in the participants no longer accruing additional benefits. ral laws and regulations. Pension coverage for The company's funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of fede employees of the company's non-U.S. consolidated subsidiaries is provided, to the extent deemed appropri ate, through separate plans. Obligations under such plans are funded by depositing funds with trustees, covered by insurance contracts, or remain unfunded. a ff The company made total contributions of $49 million, $62 million, and $121 million to its pension plans other than the principal U.S. pension plan forff the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Corteva expects to contribute approximately $60 million to its pension plans other than the principal U.S. pension plan in 2022. The company does not anticipate making contributions to its principal U.S pension plan in 2022.

Substantially all of the cost and liabilities for these retiree benefit plans are attributablea to the U.S. benefit plans. The non-Medicare eligible retiree medical plan is contributory with costs shared between the company and pensioners and survivors. For Medicare eligible pensioners and survivors, Corteva provides a company-funded Health Reimbursement Arrangement ("HRA"). In December 2020, the company amended its retiree medical, dental and life insurance plans resulting in the company no longer providing retiree dental and life insurance benefits effective January 1, 2022 and Corteva’s portion of the cost of non-Medicare retiree medical coverage no longer being adjusted for cost increases, which capped the Corteva cost at the level in effect as of December 31, 2021 ("2020 OPEB Plan Amendments").

Fair value calculations may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptim ons to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. For pension plan assets classified as Level 1 measurements (measured using quoted prices in active markets), total fair value is either the price of the most recent trade at the time of the market close or the official close price, as defined by the exchange on which the asset is most actively traded on the last trading day of the period, multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. ntly traded in less active markets, fair For pension plan assets classified as Level 2 measurements, where the security is freque 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 liabia lity.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, $43 million and $65 million, respectively, was distributed to EID according to the Trust agreement, and at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the balance in the Trust was $304 million and $347 million, respectively. The Trust Assets are classified as current restricted cash equivalents and included within other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9 - Supplementary Information, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for furff ther information. Defined Contribution Plans Corteva provides defined contribution benefits to its employees. The most significant is the U.S. Retirement Savings Plan ("the Plan"), which covers almost all of the U.S. full-service employees. This Plan includes a non-leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). Employees are not required to participate in the ESOP and those who do are free to diversify out of the ESOP. The purpose of the Plan is to provide retirement savings benefits forff employees and to provide employees an opportunity to become stockholders of the company. The Plan is a tax qualified contributory profit sharing plan, with cash or deferred arrangement and any eligible employee of Corteva may participate. Currently, Corteva contributes 100 percent of the first 6 percent of the employee's contribution election and also contributes 3 percent of each eligible employee's eligible compensation regardless of the employee's contribution. Corteva's contributions to the Plan were $63 million, $94 million, and $142 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Corteva's matching contributions vest immediately upon contribution. The 3 percent nonmatching company contribution vests after employees complete three years of service. In addition, Corteva made contributions to other defined contribution plans of $29 million, $33 million, and $46 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Included in Corteva's contributions are amounts related to discontinued operations of $73 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. F-62 Corteva, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) NOTE 21 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Prior to the Corteva Distribution, Corteva employees held equity awards, including stock options, share appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), which were denominated in DowDuPont common stock and, in some cases, in Dow Inc. common stock, and which had originally been issued under the DuPont Equity and Incentive Plan ("EIP"), the Dow Chemical Company 2012 Stock Incentive Plan or the Dow Chemical Company 1988 Award and Option Plan. As discussed in Note 18 - Commitment and Contingent Liabilities, on April 1, 2019 the company entered into an employee matters agreement (the "EMA") with DuPont and Dow that identifies employees and employee-related liabia lities (and ) to the attributablea Parties as part of the Distributions and describes when and how the relevant transferff s and assignments will occur. With some exceptions, the EMA provides forff the equitable adjustment of existing equity incentive compensation awards denominated in the common stock of DowDuPont to reflect the occurrence of the Distributions. assets) to be allocated (either retained, transferred and accepted, or assigned and assumed, as applicablea In connection with the Separation on June 1, 2019, outstanding DowDuPont-denominated stock options, SARs, RSU and PSU awards were converted into Corteva-denominated awards under the “Employer Method,” or into both DuPont-denominated awards and Corteva-denominated awards under the “Shareholder Method,” using a formul a designed to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards immediately prior to and subsequent to the Corteva Separation. The awards have the same terms and plans and award agreements prior to the Separation transactions. The conversions of equity conditions under the applicablea awards did not have a material impact to the company’s consolidated financial statements. ff On June 1, 2019 (“Adoption Date”), in connection with the Separation, the Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "OIP") became effective. Under the OIP, the company may grant incentive awards, including stock options (both “incentive stock options” and nonqualified stock options), share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, other share-based awards and cash awards, to its and its subsidiaries’ eligible employees, non-employee directors, independent contractors and consultants following the Separation until the tenth anniversary of the Adoption Date, subject to an aggregate limit and annual individual the grant or settlement of awards is 20 million shares, limits. Under the OIP, the maximum number of shares reserved forff excluding shares underlying certain exempt awards, such as the awards converted to Corteva-denominated awards pursuant to the Separation. At December 31, 2021, approximately 12 million shares were authorized for future grants under the OIP. The company generally satisfies stock option exercises and the vesting of RSUs and PSUs with newly issued shares of Corteva common stock, although RSU awards granted under Historical Dow plans in certain countries are settled in cash. The compensation committee determines the long-term incentive mix, including stock options, RSUs and PSUs and may authorize new grants annually. The company estimates expected forfeitures. t The total stock-based compensation cost included in income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes within the Consolidated Statement of Operations was $79 million, $73 million, and $84 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements were $(15) million, $(15) million, and $(17) million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Stock Options The exercise price of shares subject to option is equal to the market price of the company's stock on the date of grant. All options vest serially over a period of three years. Stock option awards granted under the OIP between June 2019 and 2020 expire 10 years after the grant date. Stock option awards granted under the EIP (previous plan) between 2014 and 2015 expire seven years after the grant date and options granted between 2016 and May 2019 expire 10 years after the grant date. Stock option awards granted under the Historical Dow plans subsequent to 2010 expire 10 years after the grant date. To measure the fair value of the awards on the date of grant, the company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptim ons set forth in the below table. Under the OIP, the weighted-average grant-date faiff r value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $11.77 and $6.06, respectively. Under the EIP, the weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2019 was $7.29. F-63 Corteva, Inc.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the measurement of volatility is based on the average volatility of eight of Corteva's peer companies. Corteva's peer volatility is based on the historical volatility of each business respectively. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the yield on an outstanding U.S. Treasury note with a term equal to the expected life of the option granted. Expected life is determined by utilizing the simplified method for estimating expected term as referenced under ASC 718 – Share based Payments. Under the EIP, the company determined the dividend yield by dividing the annualized dividend on DowDuPont's Common Stock by the option exercise price. A historical daily measurement of volatility is determined based on the expected life off f the option granted. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the measurement of volatility is based on weighted average of the individual peer volatilities of DuPont and Corteva based on the size of each business respectively. DuPont and Corteva peer volatility are based on a 50/50 blend of historical volatility and implied volatility. Both volatility measures are based on the average of five peer companies forff DuPont and eight peer companies for Corteva. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the yield on an outstanding U.S. Treasury note with a term equal to the expected life of the option granted.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) NOTE 25 - SEGMENT INFORMATION Corteva’s reportable segments reflects the manner in which its chief operating decision maker ("CODM") allocates resources and assesses performance, which is at the operating segment level (seed and crop protection). For purposes of allocating resources to the segments and assessing segment performance, segment operating EBITDA is the primary measure used by Corteva’s CODM. The company defines segment operating EBITDA as earnings (loss) (i.e., income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, corporate expenses, non-operating (benefits) costs, certain foreign currency foreign exchange gains (losses), and net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity forff derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, excluding the impact of significant items. Effective January 1, 2021, on a prospective basis, the company excludes fromff segment operating EBITDA net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to- market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Non-operating (benefits) costs consists of non-operating pension and other post-employm ent benefit (OPEB) costs, tax indemnification adjustments, environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy EID businesses and sites, and the 2021 officer indemnification payment. 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 certain foreign currency company as pre-tax income or expense. Net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity forff changes in fair derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting represents the non-cash net gain (loss) fromff gn currency derivative contracts. Upon settlement, which is within the same calendar year of value of certain undesignated forei execution of the contract, the realized gain (loss) fromff r value of the non-qualified foreign currency derivative the changes in faiff contracts will be reported in the respective segment results to reflect the economic effects of the foreign currency derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to faiff r value volatility. For the year ended December 31, 2019, segment operating EBITDA is calculated on a pro forma basis, as this is the manner in which the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources or expense. m ff Pro forma adjustments used in the calculation of pro forma segment operating EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2019 were determined in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X that was in effect prior to recent amendments. These adjustments give effect to the Merger, the debt retirement transactions related to paying off or retiring portions of EID’s existing debt liabilities (as discussed in Note 17 - Long-Term Debt and Available Credit Facilities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements), and the separation and distribution to DowDuPont stockholders of all the outstanding shares of Corteva common stock as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2016.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and faiff rly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the expenditures company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. t F-81 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. ff Criticatt l Auditdd Matters tt ncial The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated finaff statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Goodwill (Se(( e ed Reporti ng Unit) Impairme m nt Assessment As described in Notes 2 and 15 to the Corteva, Inc. consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $10.1 billion as of December 31, 2021, and the goodwill associated with the seed reporting unit was $5.4 billion. Management tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has declined below its carrying value. Management performs an annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter. If management chooses not to complete a qualitative assessment for a given reporting unit or if the initial assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is required. Management performed quantitative testing on its seed reporting unit and determined that no goodwill impairment existed in 2021. r value for the seed reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model. Management’s significant Management determined faiff al, the terminal growth assumptim ons in this analysis included future cash flow projections, the weighted average cost of capita rate, and the tax rate. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the seed reporting unit goodwill impairment assessment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the seed reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptim ons related to projected revenue, the weighted average cost of capita al, and the terminal value; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated finaff ncial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the seed reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate; (ii) evaluating model; (iii) testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying the appropriateness of the discounted cash flowff model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptim ons used by data used in the discounted cash flowff management related to projected revenue, al, and the terminal value. Evaluating management’s assumptim ons related to projected revenue and the terminal value involved evaluating whether the assumptim ons used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting unit; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptim ons were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and the weighted average cost of capita the weighted average cost of capita al and terminal value assumptim ons. /s/PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania February 10, 2022 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1946.

FORM 10-K SUMMARY . Not applicablea F-93 [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] APPENDIX Regulation G (Non-GAAP Financial Measures) This report 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, operating EBITDA margin, and operating earnings per share. Management uses these measures internally for planning and forecasting, including allocating resources and evaluating incentive compensation. 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 below or on pages 52-54 of the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Organic sales is deﬁned as price and volume and excludes currency and portfolio impacts. Operating EBITDA is deﬁned as earnings (loss) (i.e., income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating beneﬁts (costs), foreign exchange gains (losses), and net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, excluding the impact of signiﬁcant items. Non-operating beneﬁts (costs) consists of non-operating pension and other post-employment beneﬁt (OPEB) beneﬁts (costs), tax indemniﬁcation adjustments, environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy businesses and sites of Historical DuPont and the 2021 officer indemniﬁcation payment. 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 earnings (loss) per share are deﬁned as “Earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations – diluted” excluding the after-tax impact of signiﬁcant items, the after tax impact of non-operating beneﬁts (costs), the after-tax impact of amortization expense associated with intangible assets existing as of the Separation from DowDuPont, and the after-tax impact of net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. 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. Net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting represents the non-cash net gain (loss) from changes in fair value of certain undesignated foreign currency derivative contracts. Upon settlement, which is within the same calendar year of execution of the contract, the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of the non-qualiﬁed foreign currency derivative contracts will be reported in relevant non-GAAP ﬁnancial measures, allowing quarterly results to reﬂect the economic effects of the foreign currency derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to fair value volatility.
