News Release 2Q/1H 2021 3 Summary of Second Quarter 2021 For the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased 8% versus the same period last year. Organic1 sales rose 6%, with increases in most regions. Volume grew 5% versus the prior-year period, driven primarily by seasonal timing and increased soybean acres in North America, together with continued adoption of new technology in both segments. Demand for new and differentiated Crop Protection products drove double-digit net sales growth for the segment, with an organic1 sales increase of 8%. Seed net sales grew 7% for the quarter, primarily driven by higher volumes in North America3. Local price increased 1% versus prior year. Higher prices outside of North America3 reflect ongoing execution on a price- for-value strategy. GAAP income from continuing operations after income taxes was $1.0 billion in second quarter 2021. Operating EBITDA1 for the second quarter was $1.46 billion, up 18% compared to the year-ago period. 2Q 2Q % % ($ in millions, except where noted) 2021 2020 Change Organic1 Change Net Sales $5,627 $5,191 8% 6% North America $3,842 $3,566 8% 6% EMEA $710 $643 10% 4% Latin America $588 $515 14% 11% Asia Pacific $487 $467 4% --% 1H 1H % % ($ in millions, except where noted) 2021 2020 Change Organic1 Change Net Sales $9,805 $9,147 7% 6% North America $5,585 $5,331 5% 4% EMEA $2,312 $2,110 10% 5% Latin America $1,106 $949 17% 23% Asia Pacific $802 $757 6% 3%


 
News Release 2Q/1H 2021 4 Crop Protection Summary Crop Protection net sales were approximately $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2021 compared to approximately $1.7 billion in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was due to a 5% increase in volume, a 4% favorable impact from currency and a 3% increase in local price. The increase in volume was driven by continued penetration of new products, including ArylexTM herbicide and PyraxaltTM insecticide, coupled by early demand in Latin America, which shifted approximately $50 million in sales from the third quarter. These volume gains were partially offset by an approximate $60 million impact from our decision to phase out select low-margin products. Favorable currency impacts were primarily from the Euro. The increase in local price was driven by strategic price increases in North America, coupled with strong price execution globally. Segment Operating EBITDA was $370 million in the second quarter of 2021, up 20% from the second quarter of 2020. Volume gains from new products, continued pricing execution, productivity, and favorable impacts from currency more than offset higher input costs, including raw material costs. Segment Operating EBITDA margin improved by more than 130 basis points versus the prior-year period. 2Q 2Q % % ($ in millions, except where noted) 2021 2020 Change Organic1 Change North America $738 $663 11% 10% EMEA $412 $379 9% - % Latin America $354 $309 15% 11% Asia Pacific $343 $302 14% 9% Total 2Q Crop Protection Net Sales $1,847 $1,653 12% 8% Crop Protection net sales were approximately $3.5 billion for the first half of 2021 compared to approximately $3.2 billion in the first half of 2020. The increase was due to a 6% increase in volume, a 4% increase in local price and a 3% favorable impact from currency, partially offset by a 1% unfavorable portfolio impact. Volume gains were led by continued penetration of new products, including ArylexTM and EnlistTM herbicides and Pyraxalt™ insecticide. These volume gains were partially offset by an approximate $130 million impact from our decision to phase out select low-margin products. The increase in local price was primarily driven by gains in Latin America and North America. Favorable currency impacts primarily from the Euro more than offset unfavorable impacts from the Brazilian Real. The portfolio impact was driven by prior-year divestitures in Asia Pacific. Segment Operating EBITDA was $691 million for the first half of 2021, up 26% from the first half of 2020. Favorable mix, continued penetration of new products, and ongoing cost and productivity actions more than offset higher input costs, including raw material costs. Segment Operating EBITDA margin improved by more than 220 basis points versus the prior-year period. 1H 1H % % ($ in millions, except where noted) 2021 2020 Change Organic1 Change North America $1,271 $1,138 12% 10% EMEA $1,067 $965 11% 4% Latin America $598 $527 13% 18% Asia Pacific $597 $524 14% 11% Total 1H Crop Protection Net Sales $3,533 $3,154 12% 10%


 
News Release 2Q/1H 2021 5 Seed Summary Seed net sales were approximately $3.8 billion in the second quarter of 2021, up from approximately $3.5 billion in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was due to a 4% increase in volume, a 2% favorable impact from currency and a 1% increase in local price. Higher volumes were driven by more normalized delivery timing in North America compared to the prior-year period, coupled with increased soybean acreage in North America. In addition, the Company delivered $80 million in sales in the second quarter primarily due to robust early demand for corn in Latin America. This increase was also driven by canola growth in Canada, which represents early settlement of the season compared to the year-ago period. Favorable currency impacts were primarily driven by the Canadian Dollar. The increase in local price was led by strong execution in Latin America and EMEA. Segment Operating EBITDA was $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2021, up 17% from the second quarter of 2020. Volume gains, lower royalties, reduced bad debt expense, ongoing cost and productivity actions, and continued price execution more than offset higher input costs from unfavorable yields on European corn and sunflower. Segment Operating EBITDA margin improved by more than 260 basis points versus the prior-year period. 2Q 2Q % % ($ in millions, except where noted) 2021 2020 Change Organic1 Change North America $3,104 $2,903 7% 6% EMEA $298 $264 13% 9% Latin America $234 $206 14% 10% Asia Pacific $144 $165 (13)% (16)% Total 2Q Seed Net Sales $3,780 $3,538 7% 5% Seed net sales were approximately $6.3 billion for the first half of 2021, up from approximately $6.0 billion in the year- ago period. The increase was due to a 3% increase in volume, a 1% increase in local price and a 1% favorable impact from currency. The increase in volume was driven by higher soybean sales in North America, market share gains in Brazil Safrinha, earlier shipments in the Brazil Summer season, and canola growth in Canada. Local price gains were driven by strong adoption of new Seed technology, including price execution in Latin America and EMEA, with corn price up 3% globally. These gains were partially offset by competitive pricing pressure in North America soybeans, where price was down 2%. Favorable currency impacts primarily from the Canadian Dollar and the Euro more than offset unfavorable impacts from the Brazilian Real. Segment Operating EBITDA was $1.7 billion for the first half of 2021, up 13% from the prior year. Continued price execution, lower royalties, lower bad debt expense, volume gains, and ongoing cost and productivity actions more than offset higher input costs from unfavorable yields on European corn and sunflower and higher freight costs. Segment Operating EBITDA margin improved by more than 200 basis points versus the prior-year period. 1H 1H % % ($ in millions, except where noted) 2021 2020 Change Organic1 Change North America $4,314 $4,193 3% 2% EMEA $1,245 $1,145 9% 6% Latin America $508 $422 20% 29% Asia Pacific $205 $233 (12)% (13)% Total 1H Seed Net Sales $6,272 $5,993 5% 4%


 
News Release 2Q/1H 2021 6 Updated 2021 Outlook The Company updated its previously provided guidance3 for the full year 2021 – increasing sales and earnings expectations for this period. Corteva expects net sales in the range of $15.2 billion to $15.4 billion, which at the mid-point represents expected net sales growth of 8% for the year. The Company expects Operating EBITDA1 to be in the range of $2.5 billion to $2.6 billion, which at the midpoint represents expected Operating EBITDA1 growth of 22% for the year. Operating EPS1 is expected to be in the range of $2.00 and $2.10 per share. Corteva is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty items outside of its control, such as Significant Items, without unreasonable effort.

News Release 2Q/1H 2021 7 Regulation G (Non-GAAP Financial Measures) This earnings release 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 earnings per share, and base tax rate. 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 additional, useful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and a 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 in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures starting on page A-5 of the Financial Statement Schedules. Corteva is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty items outside of the Company’s control, such as Significant Items, without unreasonable effort. For Significant items reported in the periods presented, refer to page A-10 of the Financial Statement Schedules. Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company presents accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense as a significant item. Accelerated prepaid royalty amortization represents the noncash charge associated with the recognition of upfront payments made to Monsanto in connection with the Company’s non-exclusive license in the United States and Canada for Monsanto’s Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits. During the five-year ramp-up period of Enlist E3TM, Corteva 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 after the completion of the ramp-up. Additionally, on February 1, 2021, Corteva approved restructuring actions designed to right-size and optimize footprint and organizational structure according to the business needs in each region with the focus on driving continued cost improvement and productivity. Corteva expects to record total pre-tax restructuring and asset-related charges of approximately $130 million to $170 million. The restructuring actions associated with this charge are expected to be substantially complete in 2021. Organic sales is defined as price and volume and excludes currency and portfolio impacts. Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., income from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating benefits, net and foreign exchange gains (losses) net, 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 (including goodwill impairment charges). Non-operating benefits, net consists of non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) credits, tax indemnification adjustments, environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy businesses and sites of Historical DuPont. 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 per share are defined as “Earnings per common share from continuing operations - diluted” excluding the after-tax impact of significant items (including goodwill impairment charges), the after tax impact of non-operating benefits, net, and 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. Base tax rate is defined as the effective tax rate excluding the impacts of foreign exchange gains (losses) net, non-operating benefits, net, amortization of intangibles as of the Separation from DowDuPont, and significant items (including goodwill impairment charges). ® TM Corteva Agriscience and its affiliated companies. 08/05/2021 Media Contact Kasey Anderson +1 317-337-4478 kasey.anderson@corteva.com Investor Contact Jeff Rudolph +1 302-485-3704 jeff.rudolph@corteva.com

Exchange Gains/Losses
The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions. The hedging program gains (losses) are largely taxable (tax deductible) in the United States (U.S.), whereas the offsetting exchange gains (losses) on the remeasurement of the net monetary asset positions are often not taxable (tax deductible) in their local jurisdictions. The net pre-tax exchange gains (losses) are recorded in other income (expense) - net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for (benefit from) income taxes on continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
