DuPont Increases Full Year 2010 Earnings Guidance

Thursday 29. April 2010 - DuPont increased its full-year earnings guidance to a range of $2.50 to $2.70 per share from its previous range of $2.15 to $2.45 per share.

The new outlook reflects expected stronger sales growth and improved pre-tax operating margins, supported by continuing global economic expansion with particularly strong demand in Asia Pacific. The company expects free cash flow to be about $200 million higher than originally anticipated, and has increased its outlook from greater than $1.5 billion to more than $1.7 billion.
