Properties, in its own words

Qnity is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. We have a global footprint with a total of approximately 100 manufacturing facilities, laboratory, service centers, warehouses and office facilities, many of which serve more than one purpose and both of our segments. Our facilities are located in 20 different countries representing all four of our global regions; with just over half of the facilities located in the Asia Pacific region, about one-third located in the U.S. and Canada and the rest located in EMEA and Latin America. Approximately 20 of our facilities are dedicated to our Semiconductor Technologies segment and approximately 30 of our facilities are dedicated to our Interconnect Solutions segment, with the remainder being shared between the two segments. Among our 39 manufacturing sites, five manufacturing sites are operated by our joint ventures. We own approximately 20% of our facilities, while the remaining facilities are leased from third parties, including DuPont. Additional information with respect to the Company's property, plant and equipment and leases is contained in Notes 11, 16 and 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2 of the 10-K filed Feb 26, 2026.11

The story

The company was formed in December 2024 to own the electronics division of DuPont. In November 2025, DuPont completed the corporate spin-off of the company. The name "Qnity" was devised by Lippincott to include the letter "Q", the emblem of the power icon on electronics devices, as well as the word "unity". DuPont had expanded heavily into electronics in 1987. It acquired Laird Performance Materials for $2.3 billion in July 2021.

In March 2026, the company partnered with Nvidia to engage in research and development of materials for semiconductors and packaging technology for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. Also in March 2026, the company was added to the domestic supply chain of Apple Inc. The company also announced a $61.5 million investment in Taiwan by acquiring the N9 plant in Zhunan, Miaoli County, from Ennostar.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Qnity names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 26, 2026: 33 risks under these headings, as written.11

  • Any of the following risks, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, beyond our control or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Based on current information, we believe that the following identifies the most significant risks that could affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
  • Risks Related to Our Business
  • Our results are affected by competitive conditions and customer preferences.
  • Fluctuations in the demand for semiconductors and the overall volume of semiconductor manufacturing may decrease demand for our products and may adversely affect our business.
  • If we are unable to anticipate and respond to rapid technological change and customer requirements by continuing to innovate and introduce new and enhanced products and solutions, we may experience a loss of market share, decreased sales, revenue, profitability and damage to our reputation.
  • A large percentage of our net sales are generated from our international operations and are subject to economic, geopolitical, foreign exchange and other risks.
  • We are subject to a variety of rapidly evolving environmental laws and regulations that could cause us to incur significant liabilities and expenses and subject us to environmental litigation.
  • Supply chain and operational disruptions and volatility in energy and raw material costs could adversely impact our sales and earnings and impact access to sources of liquidity.
  • If we do not successfully execute our go-to-market strategy, our business and financial performance may suffer.
  • Changes in the global and local tax regulatory environments in, and the distribution of income among, the various jurisdictions in which we operate, could adversely impact our results of operations.
  • If we are unable to attract or retain key personnel and qualified employees, or maintain relations with our employees, unions and other employee representatives, it could adversely affect our ability to compete and achieve our strategic goals.
  • Our reliance on certain key customers, contract manufacturers and suppliers could adversely affect our overall sales and profitability.
The other 22 risks
  • Risks related to trade disputes, regulations and policies could have an adverse impact on our operations and reduce the competitiveness or availability of our products relative to local and global competitors.
  • Our business, results of operations and reputation could be adversely affected by industry-specific risks, including process safety, product stewardship and regulatory compliance issues.
  • Our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected by interruption or regulation of our information technology or network systems and storage of information and other business disruptions. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with laws and regulations regarding data privacy could also lead to regulatory investigations, litigation, fines, or other adverse business consequences.
  • Our revenues and operating results have fluctuated in the past and may do so in the future, which could impact our stock price.
  • Enforcing our intellectual property rights, or defending against intellectual property claims asserted by others, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
  • Failure to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, partnerships and other portfolio actions could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
  • We may not be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.
  • Risks Related to our Recent Spin-Off from DuPont
  • We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the Spin-Off.
  • We could incur substantial additional costs and experience temporary business interruptions, and we may not be adequately prepared to meet the requirements of an independent, publicly traded company on a timely or cost-effective basis.
  • We have incurred indebtedness in connection with the Spin-Off
  • We may have received better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms received in the commercial agreements we and/or certain of our subsidiaries will enter into with DuPont and/or certain of its subsidiaries.
  • If the Spin-Off were to fail to qualify for non-recognition treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, DuPont could be subject to significant tax liabilities, and our indemnification obligations to DuPont related to such taxes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • We agreed to numerous restrictions to preserve the tax-free treatment of the Spin-Off, which may reduce our strategic and operating flexibility.
  • Although we have not identified any conflicts of interest, certain of our directors and employees may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their financial or equity interests in DuPont, or because of their previous positions with DuPont.
  • We are subject to certain restrictions in the Corteva Side Letter, which may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.
  • Restrictions under our Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement with DuPont will limit our ability to prosecute, maintain and enforce certain intellectual property.
  • Risks Related to our Capital Stock
  • We cannot be certain that an active trading market for our common stock will be sustained and our stock price may fluctuate significantly.
  • A large number of shares of our common stock are or will be eligible for future sale, which may cause our stock price to decline.
  • Our stockholders’ percentage of ownership in Qnity may be diluted in the future.
  • Our Series A Preferred Stock has separate voting rights over certain potentially material matters and transactions, and the Trust is required to vote against such matters and transactions.
  • Certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, Delaware law and in the Tax Matters Agreement and other Spin-Off-related agreements may prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which could decrease the trading price of our common stock.
  • The exclusive forum provisions in our amended and restated bylaws could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers or employees, or our stockholders, or the underwriters of any offering giving rise to such claim, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

Legal proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various litigation matters, including, but not limited to, patent infringement claims, employment claims, including alleged wage and hour violations, and commercial claims. It is the opinion of the Company’s management that the possibility is remote that the aggregate of all such claims and lawsuits will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company.
