DuPont 2Q 2009 Results Are Solid
Tuesday 21. July 2009 - Today DuPont announced solid second quarter 2009 results.
DuPonts second quarter earnings were $0.46 per share, including a net $0.15 per share charge for significant items.
“Our aggressive actions to improve productivity and reduce costs across the company are paying off as we contend with continued weak demand in key segments,” said DuPont CEO Ellen Kullman. “Strong performance by our Agriculture & Nutrition segment combined with positive earnings contributions from all other business segments resulted in a solid second quarter given the continuing impact of the global recession. We will continue to rigorously apply the financial discipline and operational excellence needed during one of the most challenging economic periods ever seen.”
