DuPont Reaffirms 2011 EPS Outlook of $3.65 to $3.85

DuPont DD Chair and CEO Ellen Kullman told investors at the JPMorgan Diversified Industries Conference to expect attractive long-term growth from DuPont through product and process innovation, selective investment in attractive areas, broad-based growth, especially in developing markets, and a relentless focus on productivity. Kullman also reaffirmed DuPont's 2011 earnings per share outlook in the range of $3.65 to $3.85 per share, excluding the impact of Danisco. As previously announced, the Danisco acquisition could reduce 2011 earnings by $.30-$.45 per share on a reported basis.
