SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS
The Company's segments are aligned with the market verticals they serve, while maintaining integration and innovation strengths within strategic value chains. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is its CODM. Effective in the first quarter of 2025, in anticipation of the Separation, DuPont and Qnity realigned their segment structure. As a result of this realignment, Qnity consists of two operating and reportable segments: Semiconductor Technologies (“Semi”) and Interconnect Solutions (“ICS”). All periods presented have been adjusted to conform to the current segment reporting structure. This realignment is consistent with how the CODM now assesses performance. Major products by segment include: Semi (which includes chemical mechanical planarization (“CMP”) pads and slurries, photoresists, functional sub-layers, advanced overcoats, post-CMP cleaners, post-Etch residue removers and emerging cleans) and ICS (which includes copper pillar plating, copper redistribution layer, solder bump plating, under bump metallization, photoresists, packaging dielectrics, gap fillers, phase change, specialty thermal interface materials, thermally conductive insulators, copper plating solutions, dry film photoresists, laminates and polyimide films). The Company operates globally in substantially all of its product lines. Transfers of products between operating segments are generally valued at cost, to the extent such transfers are applicable.

The Company's measure of profit/loss for segment reporting purposes is Adjusted Operating EBITDA as this is the manner in which the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources. The CODM utilizes Adjusted Operating EBITDA to assess financial performance and allocate resources by comparing actual results to historical and previously forecasted results. Beginning with this reporting period, the Company refers to the previously disclosed “Operating EBITDA” metric as “Adjusted Operating EBITDA". This represents a change in name only. The Company defines Adjusted Operating EBITDA as earnings (i.e., “Income (loss) before income taxes”) before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating pension and other post-employment benefits / charges, and foreign exchange gains / losses, indirect legacy costs, and adjusted for significant items. Reconciliations of these measures are provided on the following pages.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
