Basis of Presentation
Qnity has historically operated as a part of DuPont; consequently, stand-alone interim financial statements have not historically been prepared for Qnity. The unaudited interim Combined Financial Statements have been derived from DuPont’s accounting records as if Qnity’s operations had been conducted independently from those of DuPont and were prepared on a stand-alone basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Qnity presented in these unaudited interim Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of what they would have been had Qnity actually been an independent stand-alone entity, nor are they necessarily indicative of Qnity’s future results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

The unaudited interim Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) include all revenues and costs directly attributable to Qnity, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by Qnity. The unaudited interim Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) reflect allocations of general corporate expenses from DuPont including, but not limited to, executive management, finance, legal, information technology, employee benefits administration, treasury, risk management, procurement and other shared services, and any restructuring related to these functions. These allocations were made on the basis of revenue, expenses, headcount or other relevant measures. Management considers these allocations to be an overall reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to, Qnity, in the aggregate. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the Company operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. The allocations, therefore, may not reflect the expenses Qnity would have incurred as a stand-alone company for the periods presented.

The Qnity unaudited interim Condensed Combined Balance Sheets include assets and liabilities that are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to Qnity, including subsidiaries and affiliates in which Qnity has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary.

DuPont used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations and DuPont funded Qnity’s operating and investing activities as needed. Cash transfers to the cash management accounts of DuPont were reflected in the unaudited interim Combined Statements of Cash Flows as “Net transfers (to) from Parent.”

Transactions between Qnity and DuPont and their affiliates and other associated companies are reflected in the unaudited interim Combined Financial Statements and disclosed as related party transactions when material. Related party transactions with DuPont are included in Note 5.
The unaudited interim Combined Financial Statements include the accounts of Qnity and subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. For those combined subsidiaries in which Qnity’s ownership is less than 100%, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interests.

Intracompany accounts and transactions within Qnity have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited interim Combined Financial Statements. Intercompany transactions with DuPont were deemed to have been paid in the periods the costs were incurred.

Qnity did not file separate tax returns in the U.S. for federal, certain state and local tax purposes, nor in foreign tax jurisdictions, as Qnity was included in the tax grouping of DuPont and its affiliate entities within the respective jurisdictions. The provision for income taxes included in these unaudited interim Combined Financial Statements has been calculated using the separate return basis, as if Qnity filed separate tax returns. Qnity’s Provision for income taxes as presented in the unaudited interim Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the income taxes that Qnity will generate in the future. In jurisdictions where Qnity has been included in the tax returns filed by DuPont, any income taxes payable resulting from the related income tax provision are considered settled in cash with DuPont immediately and therefore have been reflected in the balance sheet within “Parent company net investment”.
