DuPont Annual Report 2010

Plain-text annual report

vehicles and energy-effi cient products will outpace demand for more traditional applications for our materials. And we expect the Safety & Protection top-line to grow at 8 to 10 percent over the same fi ve-year period. Our Engine of Innovation In 2010, we introduced 1,786 new products and fi led 2,034 U.S. patent applications. About 85 percent of our R&D resources supported growth areas related to the megatrends. Developing markets are important because of the long-term growth opportunity they represent. Nearly all the world’s population growth is taking place in developing countries. Because of that, we have been growing our science and technology footprint globally, with major investments in new technology centers in China, India and Brazil. At each location, we have the technical capability to respond to customer needs with a cycle time commensurate with the blistering pace of growth in these markets. It is paying off. In Greater China we exceeded $3 billion in sales in 2010. Much of that growth resulted from applications development and technical marketing capability we put in place in China during the last 5 years. Meanwhile, customers in developing markets also look to access the totality of DuPont science and technology. We are responding by leveraging our major R&D centers in Delaware, Iowa, Switzerland and Germany. Focused on Delivering Results All our business segments made excellent progress in 2010. We expect to deliver our original 2012 earnings per share target one year ahead of plan. Th ree of our business segments met or beat their 2012 margin target in 2010, two years ahead of plan, and we are raising the bar on our segment fi nancial targets with even more aggressive goals. We are committed to growing underlying earnings per share 12 percent compounded annually through 2015 by diff erentiating our company through: • innovation fueled by the megatrends; • sustainable growth achieved by diff erentially managing our portfolio; • ongoing productivity, with targets that are externally benchmarked for each business. You can expect us to exercise good fi nancial discipline, make decisions and take actions in support of a strong balance sheet that gives us the fl exibility to pursue growth opportunities while providing attractive returns to you, our shareholders. We are very excited about our future. Focused on markets and driven by innovation and productivity, we have established goals to make 2011 another exceptional year for our company.

We came through 2009 focused on business fundamentals and established a solid foundation as we emerged stronger from the economic downturn. In 2010, we delivered superior performance in terms of growth, productivity and operating leverage. We managed our portfolio differentially, setting aggressive goals for each business. We fi nished the year ahead of our fi xed cost and working capital productivity goals. We outperformed our competition and worked hard to deliver shareholder value to earn investor trust and confi dence. Now, in 2011, we have the Ellen Kullman momentum to deliver continued growth, innovation and expanded margins. There are even better things to come. Through 2015, we expect underlying earnings per share growth of about 12 percent compounded annually. We have attractive growth opportunities supported by market-driven science and fueled by global megatrends associated with population growth. We are allocating resources to drive the highest growth opportunities. Productivity will continue to be a cornerstone of how we operate our company. We measured our performance in 2010 opposite a set of Directives that we adopted to drive our results. Here’s how we did: • Revenue and earnings growth – In revenue growth we far exceeded the 10 percent target we set, and ended the year up 21 percent. Earnings per share grew more than 60 percent. Notable growth areas included: an extremely strong photovoltaic market; increased automotive builds; a faster rate of restocking in the first half of the year; stronger-than-expected recovery in developed markets; continued strength in agriculture and continued growth in developing markets. Innovation – In 2010, 31 percent of our sales came • from products that were introduced within the past 4 years, clearly showing our market-driven science is meeting market needs. We met major milestones for progress in our new growth area of biofuels and biomaterials development. • Fixed cost and working capital productivity – We finished ahead of plan and gained momentum. Late in 2010, we announced goals for an additional $300 million in both categories to be delivered in 2011. • Free cash fl ow – We ended the year with a very strong balance sheet and exceeded our target of “greater than $1.7 billion” free cash fl ow, generating $3.1 billion. Th is was in spite of the fact that we made a $500 million voluntary contribution to the principal U.S. pension plan. These outstanding accomplishments were made possible by DuPont employees around the world who continue to demonstrate exceptional creativity and commitment to our company’s goals while remaining true to the core values that distinguish DuPont and our proud 208-year heritage. DuPont Core Values • Safety and Health Megatrends Drive Growth DuPont is uniquely positioned to collaborate with customers, business partners, governments and public-private partnerships to tackle big global challenges that off er the opportunity for signifi cant top-line growth and value creation. • Environmental Stewardship • Highest Ethical Behavior • Respect for People Global population will pass the 7 billion mark in 2011 and exceed 9 billion people by 2050 – or about 150,000 more people on the planet every day. Th is will translate into critical needs in the areas of feeding the world, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and keeping people and the environment safe – the megatrends that are driving our science and innovation and hence our company growth. Our businesses that are directly aligned with these megatrends are profi tably growing at a pace above company average. For example, we expect our Agriculture & Nutrition segment to continue to grow sales at a rate of 8 to 10 percent per year over the coming 5 years. Th e growth forecast for photovoltaics is even stronger.

Now, in 2011, we have the Ellen Kullman momentum to deliver continued growth, innovation and expanded margins. There are even better things to come. Through 2015, we expect underlying earnings per share growth of about 12 percent compounded annually. We have attractive growth opportunities supported by market-driven science and fueled by global megatrends associated with population growth. We are allocating resources to drive the highest growth opportunities. Productivity will continue to be a cornerstone of how we operate our company. We measured our performance in 2010 opposite a set of Directives that we adopted to drive our results. Here’s how we did: • Revenue and earnings growth – In revenue growth we far exceeded the 10 percent target we set, and ended the year up 21 percent. Earnings per share grew more than 60 percent. Notable growth areas included: an extremely strong photovoltaic market; increased automotive builds; a faster rate of restocking in the first half of the year; stronger-than-expected recovery in developed markets; continued strength in agriculture and continued growth in developing markets. Innovation – In 2010, 31 percent of our sales came • from products that were introduced within the past 4 years, clearly showing our market-driven science is meeting market needs. We met major milestones for progress in our new growth area of biofuels and biomaterials development. • Fixed cost and working capital productivity – We finished ahead of plan and gained momentum. Late in 2010, we announced goals for an additional $300 million in both categories to be delivered in 2011. • Free cash fl ow – We ended the year with a very strong balance sheet and exceeded our target of “greater than $1.7 billion” free cash fl ow, generating $3.1 billion. Th is was in spite of the fact that we made a $500 million voluntary contribution to the principal U.S. pension plan. These outstanding accomplishments were made possible by DuPont employees around the world who continue to demonstrate exceptional creativity and commitment to our company’s goals while remaining true to the core values that distinguish DuPont and our proud 208-year heritage. DuPont Core Values • Safety and Health Megatrends Drive Growth DuPont is uniquely positioned to collaborate with customers, business partners, governments and public-private partnerships to tackle big global challenges that off er the opportunity for signifi cant top-line growth and value creation. • Environmental Stewardship • Highest Ethical Behavior • Respect for People Global population will pass the 7 billion mark in 2011 and exceed 9 billion people by 2050 – or about 150,000 more people on the planet every day. Th is will translate into critical needs in the areas of feeding the world, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and keeping people and the environment safe – the megatrends that are driving our science and innovation and hence our company growth. Our businesses that are directly aligned with these megatrends are profi tably growing at a pace above company average. For example, we expect our Agriculture & Nutrition segment to continue to grow sales at a rate of 8 to 10 percent per year over the coming 5 years. Th e growth forecast for photovoltaics is even stronger.

As the world’s population approaches seven billion, we face unprecedented challenges. Solutions to many of them can be found in DuPont science. But providing for the food, energy and protection needs of a growing population will require more than DuPont science. So we are building alliances with people, companies, governments and organizations around the world in an effort to improve the lives of people everywhere. That’s how DuPont thinks and works today. And we’re pleased to say, it’s working very well. Together, we can accomplish what no one can do alone. Together, we can nourish a growing population. To help feed the world’s rapidly expanding population, DuPont is investing 60% of our research and development dollars to help the world’s growing population produce enough food. From advancing the nutritional content of crops, to helping farmers and growers around the world increase their yields, to ﬁ nding better ways to ensure food safety, we’re working every day to get more good food to more people. Together, we can build a secure energy future. By 2035, global demand for energy will increase by 36%. DuPont is uniquely positioned to address the rising demand for secure, environmentally sustainable and affordable energy sources. With a growing population, we will need to use our existing resources more responsibly and ﬁ nd new and cleaner energy sources. DuPont is applying deep expertise in microbiology, fermentation, polymer science and electrochemistry to help make cars lighter, fuels cleaner, and sustainable energy sources, such as the sun, easier to harness — all contributing to a brighter energy future. Together, we can make the world a safer place. A more populous world is not always a safer one. Working to ensure better safety and security for people and the environment, DuPont is working with manufacturers and governments to adapt protective materials, such as DuPontTM Kevlar® ﬁ ber, to automobile and structural designs — fulﬁ lling the needs of security-conscious markets.

And we expect the Safety & Protection top-line to grow at 8 to 10 percent over the same fi ve-year period. Our Engine of Innovation In 2010, we introduced 1,786 new products and fi led 2,034 U.S. patent applications. About 85 percent of our R&D resources supported growth areas related to the megatrends. Developing markets are important because of the long-term growth opportunity they represent. Nearly all the world’s population growth is taking place in developing countries. Because of that, we have been growing our science and technology footprint globally, with major investments in new technology centers in China, India and Brazil. At each location, we have the technical capability to respond to customer needs with a cycle time commensurate with the blistering pace of growth in these markets. It is paying off. In Greater China we exceeded $3 billion in sales in 2010. Much of that growth resulted from applications development and technical marketing capability we put in place in China during the last 5 years. Meanwhile, customers in developing markets also look to access the totality of DuPont science and technology. We are responding by leveraging our major R&D centers in Delaware, Iowa, Switzerland and Germany. Focused on Delivering Results All our business segments made excellent progress in 2010. We expect to deliver our original 2012 earnings per share target one year ahead of plan. Th ree of our business segments met or beat their 2012 margin target in 2010, two years ahead of plan, and we are raising the bar on our segment fi nancial targets with even more aggressive goals. We are committed to growing underlying earnings per share 12 percent compounded annually through 2015 by diff erentiating our company through: • innovation fueled by the megatrends; • sustainable growth achieved by diff erentially managing our portfolio; • ongoing productivity, with targets that are externally benchmarked for each business. You can expect us to exercise good fi nancial discipline, make decisions and take actions in support of a strong balance sheet that gives us the fl exibility to pursue growth opportunities while providing attractive returns to you, our shareholders. We are very excited about our future. Focused on markets and driven by innovation and productivity, we have established goals to make 2011 another exceptional year for our company.

We came through 2009 focused on business fundamentals and established a solid foundation as we emerged stronger from the economic downturn. In 2010, we delivered superior performance in terms of growth, productivity and operating leverage. We managed our portfolio differentially, setting aggressive goals for each business. We fi nished the year ahead of our fi xed cost and working capital productivity goals. We outperformed our competition and worked hard to deliver shareholder value to earn investor trust and confi dence. Now, in 2011, we have the Ellen Kullman momentum to deliver continued growth, innovation and expanded margins. There are even better things to come. Through 2015, we expect underlying earnings per share growth of about 12 percent compounded annually. We have attractive growth opportunities supported by market-driven science and fueled by global megatrends associated with population growth. We are allocating resources to drive the highest growth opportunities. Productivity will continue to be a cornerstone of how we operate our company. We measured our performance in 2010 opposite a set of Directives that we adopted to drive our results. Here’s how we did: • Revenue and earnings growth – In revenue growth we far exceeded the 10 percent target we set, and ended the year up 21 percent. Earnings per share grew more than 60 percent. Notable growth areas included: an extremely strong photovoltaic market; increased automotive builds; a faster rate of restocking in the first half of the year; stronger-than-expected recovery in developed markets; continued strength in agriculture and continued growth in developing markets. Innovation – In 2010, 31 percent of our sales came • from products that were introduced within the past 4 years, clearly showing our market-driven science is meeting market needs. We met major milestones for progress in our new growth area of biofuels and biomaterials development. • Fixed cost and working capital productivity – We finished ahead of plan and gained momentum. Late in 2010, we announced goals for an additional $300 million in both categories to be delivered in 2011. • Free cash fl ow – We ended the year with a very strong balance sheet and exceeded our target of “greater than $1.7 billion” free cash fl ow, generating $3.1 billion. Th is was in spite of the fact that we made a $500 million voluntary contribution to the principal U.S. pension plan. These outstanding accomplishments were made possible by DuPont employees around the world who continue to demonstrate exceptional creativity and commitment to our company’s goals while remaining true to the core values that distinguish DuPont and our proud 208-year heritage. DuPont Core Values • Safety and Health Megatrends Drive Growth DuPont is uniquely positioned to collaborate with customers, business partners, governments and public-private partnerships to tackle big global challenges that off er the opportunity for signifi cant top-line growth and value creation. • Environmental Stewardship • Highest Ethical Behavior • Respect for People Global population will pass the 7 billion mark in 2011 and exceed 9 billion people by 2050 – or about 150,000 more people on the planet every day. Th is will translate into critical needs in the areas of feeding the world, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and keeping people and the environment safe – the megatrends that are driving our science and innovation and hence our company growth. Our businesses that are directly aligned with these megatrends are profi tably growing at a pace above company average. For example, we expect our Agriculture & Nutrition segment to continue to grow sales at a rate of 8 to 10 percent per year over the coming 5 years. Th e growth forecast for photovoltaics is even stronger. Demand for lightweighting 002226-01E-8PanelBrochure.1.indd 1 3/11/11 8:22:22 AM F:8” F:8.25” F:8.25” F:8”
