Forward Looking Statements, Reconciliation and Use
    of Non-GAAP Measures to U.S. GAAP
       Forward-Looking Statements

       This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements,” which include information concerning the company’s plans, objectives, goals,
       strategies, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. When
       used in this release, the words “outlook,” “forecast,” “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” and
       variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based
       upon current expectations and beliefs and various assumptions. There can be no assurance that the company will realize these expectations or
       that these beliefs will prove correct. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
       forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control, could cause
       actual results to differ materially from those expressed as forward-looking statements. Certain of these risk factors are discussed in the company’s
       filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the
       company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made
       or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.

       Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures to U.S. GAAP

       This presentation reflects three performance measures, operating EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, and net debt as non-U.S. GAAP
       measures. The most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in our consolidated financial statements for
       operating EBITDA is operating profit; for adjusted earnings per share is earnings per common share-diluted; and for net debt is total debt.

       Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information

            §     Operating EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure performance, is defined as operating profit from continuing
                  operations, plus equity in net earnings from affiliates, other income and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for other
                  charges and adjustments. Our management believes operating EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the primary measures
                  our management uses for its planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results. Operating
                  EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to operating profit as a measure of
                  operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Because not all companies use identical
                  calculations, this presentation of operating EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
                  Additionally, operating EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not
                  consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements nor does it represent the
                  amount used in our debt covenants.

            §     Adjusted earnings per share is a measure used by management to measure performance. It is defined as net earnings (loss) available to
                  common shareholders plus preferred dividends, adjusted for other charges and adjustments, and divided by the number of basic
                  common shares, diluted preferred shares, and options valued using the treasury method. We provide guidance on an adjusted earnings
                  per share basis and are unable to reconcile forecasted adjusted earnings per share to a GAAP financial measure because a forecast of
                  Other Items is not practical. We believe that the presentation of this non-U.S. GAAP measure provides useful information to
                  management and investors regarding various financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of
                  operations, and that when U.S. GAAP information is viewed in conjunction with non-U.S. GAAP information, investors are provided
                  with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. This non-U.S. GAAP information is not intended to be
                  considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial information.

            §     Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe that the presentation of this non-U.S. GAAP measure
                  provides useful information to management and investors regarding changes to the company’s capital structure. Our management and
                  credit analysts use net debt to evaluate the company's capital structure and assess credit quality. This non-U.S. GAAP information is
                  not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial information.

         loss
       ► Sales increased due to higher pricing, currency and continued
         strong demand
       ► Pricing strength could not offset margin impact of lower volumes
         and higher raw material costs

  • 1. Credit Suisse 16th Annual Chemical Conference September 26, 2007 1
  • 2. Forward Looking Statements, Reconciliation and Use of Non-GAAP Measures to U.S. GAAP Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements,” which include information concerning the company’s plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. When used in this release, the words “outlook,” “forecast,” “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and beliefs and various assumptions. There can be no assurance that the company will realize these expectations or that these beliefs will prove correct. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed as forward-looking statements. Certain of these risk factors are discussed in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures to U.S. GAAP This presentation reflects three performance measures, operating EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, and net debt as non-U.S. GAAP measures. The most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in our consolidated financial statements for operating EBITDA is operating profit; for adjusted earnings per share is earnings per common share-diluted; and for net debt is total debt. Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information § Operating EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure performance, is defined as operating profit from continuing operations, plus equity in net earnings from affiliates, other income and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for other charges and adjustments. Our management believes operating EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the primary measures our management uses for its planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results. Operating EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to operating profit as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of operating EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally, operating EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements nor does it represent the amount used in our debt covenants. § Adjusted earnings per share is a measure used by management to measure performance. It is defined as net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders plus preferred dividends, adjusted for other charges and adjustments, and divided by the number of basic common shares, diluted preferred shares, and options valued using the treasury method. We provide guidance on an adjusted earnings per share basis and are unable to reconcile forecasted adjusted earnings per share to a GAAP financial measure because a forecast of Other Items is not practical. We believe that the presentation of this non-U.S. GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors regarding various financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations, and that when U.S. GAAP information is viewed in conjunction with non-U.S. GAAP information, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. This non-U.S. GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial information. § Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe that the presentation of this non-U.S. GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors regarding changes to the company’s capital structure. Our management and credit analysts use net debt to evaluate the company's capital structure and assess credit quality. This non-U.S. GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial information. 2
