Cytec Announces Third Quarter Results; Full Year Outlook Updated

WEST PATERSON, N.J.--Nov. 3, 2005--Cytec Industries Inc. announced today net earnings available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2005 of $35.4 million or $0.75 per diluted share on net sales of $761 million. Included in the quarter is a pre-tax gain of $3.7 million (after tax $2.4 million or $0.05 per diluted share) for interest rate derivative transactions associated with the Surface Specialties acquisition and a restructuring charge of $1.1 million (after tax $0.8 million or $0.02 per diluted share) related to employee severance. Excluding these items, net earnings available to common stockholders were $33.8 million or $0.72 on a diluted share basis.

Net earnings available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2004 were $10.5 million or $0.26 per diluted share on net sales of $434 million. This includes several special item charges as follows: a pretax charge of $8.0 million ($6.2 million after tax or $0.15 per diluted share) primarily relating to settlement of a carbon fiber litigation matter, a pretax charge of $2.0 million ($1.6 million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share) relating to the settlement of disputed matters with the holder of the Company's Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series C") and a charge to net earnings available to common stockholders of $9.9 million ($0.24 per diluted share) as a result of the redemption of the Company's Series C. Excluding the special items, net earnings available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2004 were $28.2 million or $0.69 per diluted share.

David Lilley, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "The latter part of the third quarter presented additional challenges for Cytec and the chemical industry in general. In addition to the direct impact from hurricanes Katrina and Rita, raw material and energy costs continued to climb upwards. We have done a good job in recovering from the hurricanes, repairing the affected facilities and restarting our plants and we are now beginning to pass along the higher raw material and energy costs where we can by way of increased product prices. On the demand side, we still see sluggishness in some markets, particularly those for our coating chemicals and polymer additive product lines, and in response, we continue to aggressively reduce inventory levels."

Cytec Performance Specialties Sales decreased 2% to $172 million; Operating Earnings increased to $15 million

Mr. Lilley continued, "In Cytec Performance Specialties, selling prices increased and exchange rate changes benefited sales by 5% and 2%, respectively, while volumes decreased 9%. The selling price increases were across all product lines which are needed to compensate for much higher raw material and energy costs. Volumes were lower in all product lines, except phosphine chemicals, principally due to our decision to give up low margin business in certain product lines, the impact on demand from the hurricanes and continuing sluggish industrial demand in North America and Europe. In addition, mining chemicals was impacted by certain customer strikes and a changed order pattern where more orders are now expected to occur in the fourth quarter.

"The increase in operating earnings of $1.1 million was primarily due to higher selling prices, improved manufacturing performance and good cost controls offsetting the impact of higher raw material and energy costs and reduced selling volumes.

Cytec Surface Specialties Sales increased 417% to $393 million; Operating Earnings increase to $22 million

"The increase in Cytec Surface Specialties sales is principally due to the acquisition of the Surface Specialties business which accounts for almost all of the sales increase. Overall, we continue to see weak demand in Europe and North America. Our Cytec heritage coating chemicals and performance chemicals product lines had increased selling prices of 3%, exchange rate changes added 1% while volumes were down 1% principally in North America. For the acquired business, on a pro-forma basis, volumes were down about 4%, selling prices were up 10% and exchange was up 1%.

"Operating earnings increased $14.9 million primarily due to the addition of results from the acquired business.

Cytec Engineered Materials Sales increase 12% to $136 million; Operating Earnings increase to $28 million

"Cytec Engineered Materials sales volumes increased 10% and selling prices were up 2%. The volume increases were primarily due to improving aircraft build rates for large commercial aircraft and rotorcraft as well as new business gained through existing and new technologies.

"The improvement in operating earnings primarily reflects the impact from the increased selling volumes, the related leverage on costs from the higher volumes, improving manufacturing performance and good expense controls.

Building Block Chemicals Sales decrease slightly to $60 million; Operating loss of $4 million

"Building Block Chemicals was severely impacted by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Selling volumes were down 11% but offset by higher selling prices of 11%. Our sales of acrylonitrile to the Asia-Pacific region were impacted by lower demand caused by higher prices and also by limited product availability caused by the hurricanes' impact on production and transportation.

"The operating loss reflects the impact from the hurricanes of about $5.2 million related to maintenance and repair costs, extra labor and related expenses, energy and start up costs. In addition, we estimate reduced profits of approximately $3.9 million due to lost production during the quarter and the corresponding sales loss. An additional $1.5-$2.0 million for hurricane damage repairs is estimated to be incurred in the fourth quarter. Raw material and energy costs increased significantly over the prior year period. Propylene declined in the early part of the quarter but increased significantly in the later part and averaged $0.35 per pound in the quarter versus $0.31 in the same period of last year. Our natural gas for the quarter averaged $7.86 per MMBTU, as we had hedged much of our gas requirements, versus $5.52 per MMBTU in the prior year period."

Earnings in Associated Companies

Earnings in Associated Companies is down from the prior year as a result of the May 20, 200505 sale of the Company's 50% interest in CYRO Industries to its partner, Degussa.

Corporate and Unallocated

James P. Cronin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer commented, "During the quarter the Company recorded a pre-tax gain in other income (expense), net of $3.7 million ($2.4 million after tax or $0.05 per diluted share) pertaining to interest rate derivative transactions related to the acquisition of the Surface Specialties business. These derivatives were entered into to partially hedge the impact of increases in interest rates related to the Surface Specialties acquisition and required mark to market accounting resulting in changes to the fair value being recorded as a gain or loss in the period incurred. The interest rate derivatives were settled at the end of the quarter as part of our refinancing of the debt outstanding under our 364 day and revolving credit facilities. In addition, we recorded a charge of $1.1 million in administrative and general expense ($0.8 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted share) for employee related severance costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is significantly higher than the prior year quarter primarily due to the higher levels of debt outstanding associated with the Surface Specialties acquisition.

Income Tax Expense

Mr. Cronin added, "The Company's estimated 2005 annual effective tax rate for continuing operations continued to be favorably impacted by a reduction in income tax expense of $9.6 million recorded in the second quarter related to a partial resolution of a tax audit in Norway with respect to prior year tax returns and a reduction in income tax expense of $16.2 million recorded in the first quarter related to final approval by the Internal Revenue Service's examination of our tax returns for the years 1999 through 2001. Also favorably impacting the rate were year to date losses of $44.2 million incurred in the U.S. on the interest rate and currency derivatives and a $22.0 million charge recorded in the second quarter pertaining to the optional redemption of our Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities (MOPPRS). The tax benefit on these losses is recorded at 36.5%. Unfavorably impacting the tax rate was a charge of $37.0 million for the write-off of in-process research and development expenses in the first quarter related to the Surface Specialties acquisition for which no tax benefit was recorded. Excluding these items, the Company's underlying annual effective tax rate is 26%, down from 27% estimated in the second quarter, and compares to 23% in the same period of last year. As expected the increase versus last year is primarily attributable to relatively more earnings from acquired Surface Specialties entities in countries with higher tax rates than in countries for heritage Cytec."

Cash Flow

Cash flow provided by operations was $115.0 million for the quarter. Trade accounts receivable decreased by $27 million in part due to the seasonal drop in sales from quarter two levels but days outstanding were unchanged. Sales were lower than the second quarter due to lower sales in the U.S. and in Europe which is typically down in the third quarter versus the second. Inventory decreased by $38 million primarily reflecting efforts to bring inventories in line with demand levels. Capital spending for the quarter was $27 million. The full year forecast for capital spending of approximately $100 million remains unchanged.

Debt Refinancing

On October 4, 2005 the Company closed on its public debt offering of $250 million of 5.5% notes due 2010 and $250 million of 6.0% notes due 2015. Proceeds were principally used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company's 364-day credit facility and its revolving credit facility. In conjunction with this offering, the Company entered into two $250 million euro cross currency swaps with five and ten year tenors to effectively convert the entire $500 million of debt from dollars to euros. The all-in effective euro interest rate of the debt, including issuance costs, is approximately 4.0% and 4.7% for the notes maturing in 2010 and 2015, respectively.

2005 Outlook

Mr. Lilley commented further, "Over the last few weeks we have seen unprecedented increases for raw material and energy costs in the U.S. and certain raw materials are in short supply as recovery from the hurricanes is slower than anticipated. In Europe and in Asia, raw material costs are also increasing as suppliers pass through costs from petroleum derived materials. These changes primarily affect our chemical operations although our engineered materials business is also absorbing additional raw material and energy costs. The volatility and uncertainty caused by these rapid changes makes financial forecasting difficult, and the recent spikes will make earnings recovery difficult in the 2005 fiscal period. We are continuing to pass along the higher raw material and energy costs where conditions and contracts allow. On the demand side, our aerospace markets continue to improve as build rates for large commercial aircraft and rotorcraft increase. The weak industrial demand in Europe and North America is expected to continue to adversely impact our coating chemicals and polymer additives product lines. Specific detail for the full year excluding special items as discussed below is as follows:

"In Cytec Performance Specialties, our guidance for sales and operating earnings is unchanged. We expect sales to increase 5% to 10% and operating earnings to increase to a range of $56 to $58 million. We see improved demand in our mining chemicals product line offset by lower demand in our polymer and specialty additives product lines. Earnings are also supported by manufacturing productivity improvements and good expense controls.

"In Cytec Surface Specialties, we have done a credible job to date in recovering higher raw material and energy costs in most areas, although the recent and any additional increases will be difficult to recover this year. Our expectation is for demand in Europe to remain weak with Asia continuing to improve modestly. In North American markets, we expect the automotive sector to be down and overall industrial demand to be slightly down to flat as the hurricanes impact production in the U.S. We continue to make progress in the introduction of new products, for example in radcure resin applications, as we seek to exploit the benefits of the new technology. Our forecast for sales is now expected to be in a range of $1.35 billion to $1.40 billion down from $1.35 billion to $1.45 billion. We are aggressively reducing inventories in response to the demand situation and this has a negative impact on earnings also. Taking into account the above, we are updating our operating earnings forecast for this segment to a range of $73 to $78 million, down from a range of $85 to $90 million. In addition to improving the top line, this segment is now clearly focused on cost takeout and efficiency improvement opportunities as discussed further below.

"Cytec Engineered Materials sales and earnings forecast for sales and operating earnings is unchanged. Sales are expected to increase in a range of 10% to 13% and our operating earnings forecast is $100 to $105 million. The build rates for large commercial aircraft and rotorcraft have increased as expected and we expect further improvement in our manufacturing operations, and continuation of good cost controls in general.

"Building Block Chemicals sales forecast for an increase of 10% to 12% is down from our previous forecast of 12% to 15% and operating earnings are now expected to be in the range of $11 to $13 million down from our previous forecast of $25 million due in large part to the impact of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In addition, propylene, the key raw material for acrylonitrile, is forecasted to increase significantly and is expected to average $0.50 per pound for the fourth quarter. About 50% of our acrylonitrile production is sold to the export market on a spot pricing basis. While the price of acrylonitrile has increased in export markets, it has not kept pace with the increases in propylene, thus reducing margin spreads versus our previous expectation.

"The Corporate and Unallocated forecast is now projected to be about a loss of $6 million down from our previous forecast of a loss of $7 million. Equity earnings for the full year will be slightly above the nine month amount of $7.4 million. Our forecast for interest expense, net is unchanged at a range of $58 to $60 million. Our estimated underlying annual effective tax rate for ongoing operations is 26%, improved from the prior forecast of 27%. The earnings from discontinued operations will be approximately $1 million.

"As announced on October 26, 2005 we have combined our two Specialty Chemicals divisions, Cytec Performance Specialties and Cytec Surface Specialties, into a new unit named Cytec Specialty Chemicals. There are a number of headwinds facing the chemical industry; rising raw material and energy costs, tight supplies and sluggish demand in Europe and North America. We must be proactive in making sure we are focused on the growth opportunities while simultaneously running a streamlined and cost efficient operation. We believe this combination will offer us opportunities to meet these challenges and improve Cytec, and together with other cost take out initiatives, particularly in the area of manufacturing, we expect to announce a restructuring charge in the fourth quarter in a range of $10 to $20 million.

In closing Mr. Lilley commented, "Based on all of the above our forecast of overall annual sales is now in a range of $2.85 to $2.95 billion, down slightly from our previous forecast of $2.9 to $3.0 billion. After taking into account the above market conditions and the previously disclosed impact of $0.15 per diluted share as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, our forecast for full year diluted earnings per share is now at $ 3.00 to $3.10, down from $3.30 to $3.45. This excludes the purchase accounting charges for in-process research and development in the first quarter and charges for fair value of inventory in excess of normal manufacturing cost in the first and second quarters, the environmental dispute settlement in the first quarter, the charge in the second quarter for the anticipated settlement of a certain litigation matter, the acquisition related net gains or losses on derivative transactions, the charges for the redemption of the MOPPRS in the second quarter, the actual and forecasted integration and severance costs related to the acquisition and restructuring charges including those likely to be incurred in the fourth quarter, and includes the tax provision at the underlying annual effective tax rate of 26%.

"These are challenging times for Cytec and our industry in general. We remain focused on product innovation plus cost and efficiency improvements that benefit Cytec today and for the future."

Nine Month Results

Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $40.7 million or $0.88 per diluted share on sales of $2,138 million. Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were purchase accounting related charges of $20.8 million pre-tax (after-tax $15.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share), related to acquired inventories from Surface Specialties being recorded at fair value which exceeded normal manufacturing cost, a charge of $37.0 million or $0.80 per diluted share related to the write-off of in-process research and development costs of Surface Specialties, a pre-tax charge of $44.2 million (after tax $28.1 million or $0.61 per diluted share) related to currency and interest rate derivative transactions associated with the Surface Specialties acquisition, a pre-tax charge of $2.4 million (after tax $1.8 million or $0.04 per diluted share) related to an anticipated settlement of a certain litigation matter, a pre-tax charge of $22.0 million (after-tax $14.0 million or $0.30 per diluted share) related to the optional redemption of our MOPPRS prior to their maturity, an income tax benefit of $25.8, or $0.56 per diluted share, reflecting favorable resolution of tax audits with respect to prior year tax returns, employee restructuring costs of $2.4 million (after tax $1.8 million or $0.04 per diluted share), and a $4.4 million settlement to resolve a dispute over an environmental matter (after tax $3.2 million or $0.07 per diluted share). Excluding these items, net earnings were $116.1 million or $2.52 on a diluted share basis.

             Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures

Management believes that net earnings and diluted earnings per share
before special items, which are non-GAAP measurements, are meaningful
to investors because they provide a view of the Company with respect
to ongoing operating results. Special items represent significant
charges or credits that are important to an understanding of the
Company's overall operating results in the periods presented. Such
non-GAAP measurements are not recognized in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be viewed as an
alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
