# Dow Inc. FY 2025 net income loss USD 2.44 billion, down from profit, with free cash flow negative at USD 1.42 billion

Dow Inc. reported net sales of USD 39.97 billion for the full year ending December 31, 2025. The company highlighted that 40 percent of its sales were generated in the U.S. & Canada, 31 percent in Europe, Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI), and 29 percent in Asia Pacific and Latin America. Dow Inc. continued to face challenging market conditions in 2025 due to slower global GDP growth, industry overcapacity, and increased volatility linked to uncertain geopolitical environments and trade policies, which impacted its results of operations and cash flows. These macroeconomic pressures are expected to persist in the near term. On January 26, 2026, the Board approved the “Transform to Outperform” initiative, a comprehensive set of actions aimed at improving near-term Operating EBITDA by simplifying Dow Inc.’s operating model, reducing its cost structure, and accelerating growth. The company operates manufacturing sites in 29 countries and had approximately 34,600 employees at the end of 2025.
