Comment
|
Andrew N. Liveris, Dow’s chairman and chief executive officer, stated:
“This quarter’s performance showed once again that we remain firmly on our earnings growth trajectory. Our focus on execution was clear as we drove significant sales increases across all geographies and all operating segments through rigorous price and volume discipline. As a result, we achieved yet another quarter of margin expansion and delivered EBITDA growth of more than 30 percent.
“With our transformed business portfolio and broad geographic presence, we have now achieved eight consecutive quarters of margin growth. This marked the second best quarterly EBITDA in our Company’s history. We also further enhanced our financial flexibility by paying down $2.5 billion in debt, which will reduce our interest expense and be immediately accretive. And our recently announced dividend increase is yet another proof point of how we are delivering increasing value for shareholders.
“We also advanced our innovation pipeline, bringing to market technologies that answer the needs of a changing global economy. Our whole focus at Dow is on execution to deliver profitable, sustainable growth, and this quarter’s performance shows we remain right on strategy.”

Review of First Quarter Results
The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) achieved sales of $14.7 billion in the first quarter of 2011, a 20 percent increase compared with the same period last year. Top-line growth was driven by an 8 percent increase in volume and a 12 percent increase in price. All operating segments and geographic areas reported double-digit sales increases.
At a Company level, volume grew 8 percent, with gains in all operating segments. Double-digit volume growth was reported in Health and Agricultural Sciences (14 percent) and Electronic and Specialty Materials (11 percent). On a geographic basis, volume growth was reported in all geographic areas, with the largest gains in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) (15 percent) and Asia Pacific (8 percent).
Price rose 12 percent at a Company level. Price gains were broad-based, with double-digit increases in all geographic areas. All operating segments reported double-digit price increases, with the exception of Electronic and Specialty Materials and Health and Agricultural Sciences (each up 3 percent). Price gains more than offset a $700 million increase in purchased feedstock and energy costs.
At a Company level, EBITDA rose $622 million, or 34 percent, to $2.4 billion. This represents the second highest quarterly EBITDA on record for the Company. Performance Products and Chemicals and Energy each posted EBITDA increases in excess of 50 percent, and Coatings and Infrastructure EBITDA
increased more than 30 percent. Health and Agricultural Sciences EBITDA reached a new quarterly record of $406 million and Plastics EBITDA exceeded $800 million.
At a Company level, EBITDA margin expanded 300 basis points versus the same period last year. This represents the eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year margin expansion. Margins expanded in Chemicals and Energy and Plastics as the Company benefited from U.S. Gulf Coast feedstock and energy fundamentals. Performance Products and Coatings and Infrastructure also drove margin gains in the quarter.
Reported earnings for the quarter were $0.54 per share, compared with $0.41 per share in the same period last year. The Company earned $0.82 per share in the quarter, excluding certain items. This compares with earnings of $0.43 per share in the same quarter last year, excluding certain items. Certain items in the current quarter consisted of a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $0.26 per share, and Rohm and Haas acquisition-related integration costs of $0.02 per share, both reflected in Corporate. (See Supplemental Information at the end of the release for a description of certain items affecting results.)
Dow’s global operating rate was 83 percent, flat with the same year ago period. Sequentially, the Company’s operating rate rose 2 percentage points.
Research and Development (R&D) expenses declined slightly (2 percent) versus the same period last year. The Company continued to invest in its technology-intensive segments, particularly Health and Agricultural Sciences, which increased its R&D investment by 10 percent, and Electronic and Specialty Materials, which was up 7 percent.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses rose 6 percent versus the year-ago period, primarily driven by increased spending in Health and Agricultural Sciences (up 14 percent) and Electronic and Specialty Materials (up 19 percent) in support of product launches and growth initiatives.
Equity earnings were $298 million, led by strong performance from Dow Corning, MEGlobal and the Company’s joint ventures in Kuwait.
The Company continued to surpass its growth synergy targets, delivering $1.2 billion in sales on a run-rate basis. Sequentially, the Company’s run-rate grew 10 percent.
Net debt(4) to total capitalization was 42.8 percent. In the quarter the Company retired $2.5 billion of gross debt, thereby reducing interest expense by nearly $200 million annually going forward.
“This quarter’s performance showed once again that we remain firmly on our earnings growth trajectory,” said Andrew N. Liveris, Dow’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Our focus on execution was clear as we drove significant sales increases across all geographies and all operating segments through rigorous price and volume discipline. As a result, we achieved yet another quarter of margin expansion and delivered EBITDA growth of more than 30 percent.

(4) Net debt equals total debt (“Notes payable” plus “Long-term debt due within one year” plus “Long-Term Debt”) minus “Cash and cash equivalents.”
Electronic and Specialty Materials
Sales in Electronic and Specialty Materials were $1.3 billion, up 14 percent from the same quarter last year, driven by 11 percent volume growth and price gains of 3 percent. The Electronic Materials business reported double-digit volume growth, with increases across all business units. The Display Technologies and Growth Technologies businesses reported the strongest demand gains, driven by wins from new product introductions. In Asia Pacific, Electronic Materials reported volume growth across all business units, resulting from strong global demand for consumer electronics and high foundry utilization rates. The business recorded several customer wins in the period, including photoresist for leading edge memory production, films for consumer electronics and electroplating materials for mobile phone applications.
Specialty Materials reported demand growth in all geographic areas, with double-digit increases in Latin America and Asia Pacific. Dow Water and Process Solutions reported volume gains in both ion exchange resins and reverse osmosis membranes. Growth in Asia Pacific was particularly robust as volume increased more than 40 percent, driven by new infrastructure investments and solid demand for ultrapure water used in the production of consumer electronics. Dow Wolff Cellulosics reported double-digit demand growth in all geographic areas with strength in food and pharmaceuticals end-markets.
Equity earnings were $91 million, reflecting continued solid performance at Dow Corning. This compares with equity earnings of $113 million in the same period last year. EBITDA for the segment was $344 million. This compares with EBITDA of $368 million in the same period last year, which excluded an $8 million restructuring charge.
Coatings and Infrastructure
Coatings and Infrastructure sales were $1.4 billion, up 16 percent compared with the same period last year. Volume rose 3 percent versus the year-ago period, and price was up 13 percent. Volume gains were reported in Dow Adhesives and Functional Polymers and Dow Building and Construction, while volume fell slightly in Dow Coating Materials due to soft demand from architectural end-markets in developed regions and constrained supply for industrial coatings raw materials.
Dow Adhesives and Functional Polymers reported volume growth in all geographic areas, with the largest gain in Latin America. The business drove a double-digit price increase in response to high raw material costs. Robust growth for thermal paper and pressure sensitive adhesives applications continued in the quarter, as well as positive trends toward solventless packaging solutions. Dow Building and Construction reported double-digit demand growth, as robust volume gains in fast-growing regions such as Asia Pacific and Latin America outpaced tepid growth in North America. Results for the business were partly impacted by ongoing investment in the DOW™ POWERHOUSE™ solar shingle. Dow Coating Materials reported sales gains across all geographic areas in both architectural and industrial coatings. Industrial coatings volume was impacted by tight raw material availability, which allowed for strong pricing gains and margin expansion. The architectural coatings business reported double-digit demand growth in Asia Pacific and Latin America, while industry conditions in EMEA and North America remained soft. The business achieved double-digit price increases in all geographic areas in architectural coatings, in response to significant raw material cost increases.
EBITDA for the segment was $188 million. This compares with EBITDA of $143 million in the same period last year, which excluded a $5 million restructuring charge.

Health and Agricultural Sciences
Health and Agricultural Sciences reported record sales of $1.6 billion in the quarter, up 17 percent compared with the year-ago period. Volume increased 14 percent, with price up 3 percent. All geographic areas reported sales gains versus the same period last year.
Growth in agricultural chemical sales was led by EMEA, with double-digit volume gains resulting from new product sales and favorable climate conditions allowing for early application of cereal herbicides. Globally, new agricultural chemical product sales were up 16 percent versus the same quarter last year, led by strong early-season demand for range and pasture herbicides in the United States and Brazil, and strong insecticide and cereal herbicide sales.
Seeds, Traits and Oils reported demand growth of more than 25 percent. The continued ramp-up of SmartStax® hybrids in North America and strong demand in Latin America drove significant volume increases in corn. Cotton seed sales rose significantly, driven by an increase in planted U.S. acres and continued market penetration of PhytoGen® cottonseeds.
In addition, the business continued to announce significant developments from its innovation pipeline. Notably, the business recently received regulatory approval in Brazil for POWERCORE™ technology, the first five-gene trait stack technology in that country, and received registration in the United States for REFUGE ADVANCED™ powered by SmartStax®, the world’s first single bag solution that allows growers in the Corn Belt to avoid planting separate refuge.
EBITDA for the segment was $406 million, which compares with $384 million in the year-ago period.
Performance Systems
Sales in Performance Systems were $1.7 billion, up 16 percent compared with the same quarter last year. Volume increased 6 percent and price was up 10 percent. Double-digit volume growth was reported in North America and Latin America, and price increases were achieved in all geographic areas. Dow Automotive Systems reported volume growth, with gains of at least 15 percent in North America and Latin America. The business also reported demand growth for its technology-differentiated products in acoustical and glass bonding applications. Dow Elastomers reported sales growth of more than 20 percent, driven by price gains across all geographic areas and increased sales into automotive applications, particularly in North America and Asia Pacific. Double-digit sales increases in Dow Wire and Cable were driven by broad-based price gains, as well as higher demand for power transmission applications, particularly in North America, and robust demand in Latin America. These gains helped to offset lower demand in Asia Pacific due to a decline in infrastructure spending.
EBITDA for Performance Systems was $207 million in the quarter, compared with $205 million in the year-ago period.
Performance Products
Sales in Performance Products were $2.9 billion, up 18 percent compared with the year-ago period. Volume rose 2 percent and price increased 16 percent. Volume growth in North America and EMEA was

partially offset by reduced volume in Asia Pacific, where businesses implemented price gains to recapture margin. The Epoxy business continued to report strong year-over-year sales growth, with volume gains of more than 50 percent, led by EMEA and North America. Market fundamentals for phenol remained healthy, driven by downstream polycarbonate demand for automobile, optical media and consumer electronics applications. Polyglycols, Surfactants and Fluids also reported volume growth, led by North America and EMEA. Harsh and prolonged winter conditions in North America led to significant demand for de-icers. Demand was also particularly strong for lubricants, driven by uses in steel and automotive industries. Sales in Amines and Oxygenated Solvents were impacted by production outages in North America in January; however, both businesses more than offset volume declines with double-digit price increases. Underlying demand remained strong for key Oxygenated Solvents end-markets, such as electronics, health and nutrition, oil additives, de-icers and refrigerants. Polyurethanes sales growth was driven by double-digit price gains in all geographic areas. The business continued its focus on margin management, particularly in Asia Pacific, where Polyurethanes achieved the highest price gains while foregoing low-margin volume.
EBITDA for Performance Products was $456 million. This compares with EBITDA of $291 million for the year-ago period, which excluded a $3 million restructuring charge.
Plastics
Sales in Plastics were $3 billion, up 19 percent from the same quarter last year. Volume increased 5 percent, while price rose 14 percent. Polyethylene reported a double-digit sales gain, driven by price increases in all geographic areas resulting from healthy demand and increasing raw material costs. The business reported volume growth of more than 30 percent in Asia Pacific due to additional sales from a new polyethylene train in Thailand. As a result of disciplined price and volume management, the business maintained strong margins despite high and volatile feedstock and energy costs. Polypropylene reported a significant sales gain, driven by double-digit price increases in all geographic areas, as well as robust demand in EMEA due to low inventory levels in the value chain and growing demand for automotive, consumer durable goods and packaging end-markets.
Equity earnings for the segment were $68 million, compared with $65 million in the year-ago period. Plastics EBITDA for the quarter reached $809 million, which compares with $718 million in the same period last year.
Chemicals and Energy
Sales in the Chemicals and Energy segment were $970 million, up 16 percent from the same period last year. Volume increased 2 percent and price rose 14 percent. The Chlor-Alkali/Chlor-Vinyl business reported significant sales gains, driven by solid price increases of 17 percent and higher volume, particularly in EMEA. The largest price gains were reported in caustic soda, with tight supply and continued strong demand in the alumina and pulp and paper industries supporting pricing initiatives. Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) sales were slightly higher than the same period last year due to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) export demand from the United States, which offset continued weakness in domestic construction end-markets. Ethylene Oxide/Ethylene Glycol (EO/EG) volumes were down from the year-ago period, mainly due to the shutdown of capacity in the United Kingdom and the conversion of a facility in the United States to EO-only production in support of Dow’s EO-based derivatives. However, the business reported double-digit price gains, with increases achieved in all geographic areas.
Equity earnings were $144 million for the quarter, compared with $98 million in the year-ago period. EBITDA for the quarter was $291 million, which compares with EBITDA of $120 million in the same period last year.
Outlook
|
Commenting on the Company’s outlook, Liveris said:
“Global growth continued to firm across many of our key end-markets and geographies in the first quarter, and this was reflected in our robust top- and bottom-line growth.
“Looking ahead, we believe the economic recovery in the United States, Western Europe and other developed markets continues, but remains fragile. With lingering unemployment concerns in the United States and ongoing sovereign debt issues in Europe, consumer demand in the Western world, while growing, has not yet returned to solid ground. Conversely, demand continues to be robust in emerging geographies, despite rising inflationary concerns. We remain optimistic that growth in these emerging regions will continue, driven by a rising middle class and ongoing infrastructure investments.
“Regardless of the scenario, we have strategies in place to address areas of uncertainty and remain well-positioned with our broad geographic footprint, flexible and advantaged feedstock position – particularly in the United States, our focus on productivity and our balanced portfolio.”
Dow will host a live Webcast of its first quarter earnings conference call with investors to discuss its results, business outlook and other matters today at 10:00 a.m. ET on www.dow.com.
