Eastman Announces Record Sales and Earnings
 
All Segments Report Record Quarterly Earnings
 
KINGSPORT, Tenn., July 28, 2011 – Eastman Chemical Company (NYSE:EMN) today announced earnings from continuing operations of $2.90 per diluted share for second quarter 2011 versus $1.92 per diluted share for second quarter 2010. Excluding a $15 million gain in second quarter 2011 from the sale of previously impaired methanol assets in Beaumont, Texas, and $3 million of restructuring charges in second quarter 2010, earnings from continuing operations were $2.76 per diluted share in second quarter 2011 and $1.95 per diluted share in second quarter 2010. For reconciliation to reported company and segment earnings, see Tables 3 and 4 in the accompanying second-quarter 2011 financial tables.

“For the second consecutive quarter, we reported record earnings, and we are on track to report record annual earnings for this year,” said Jim Rogers, Chairman and CEO. “This performance demonstrates the strength of our portfolio of businesses, including innovative new products and the benefits of geographic and end-market diversity. I remain confident that the combination of growth in our core businesses and our disciplined capital allocation will continue this track record of annual earnings growth over the next several years.”

Sales revenue for second quarter 2011 was $1.9 billion, a 26 percent increase compared with second quarter 2010 due to higher selling prices and higher sales volume. The higher selling prices were in response to higher raw material and energy costs and were also attributed to strengthened demand, particularly in the U.S., and tight industry supply. The higher sales volume was primarily due to growth in plasticizer product lines, increased demand for acetyl chemicals, the fourth quarter 2010 restart of a previously idled olefins cracking unit at the Texas facility, and strengthened end-market demand primarily in the packaging, transportation, and durable goods markets.

Operating earnings in second quarter 2011 increased to $303 million compared with operating earnings of $249 million in second quarter 2010, excluding asset impairments and restructuring charges and gains in both periods. Operating earnings increased due to higher selling prices and higher sales volume, which more than offset higher raw material and energy costs.

Segment Results 2Q 2011 versus 2Q 2010

Coatings, Adhesives, Specialty Polymers and Inks – Sales revenue increased by 18 percent due to higher selling prices and higher sales volume. The higher selling prices were in response to higher raw material and energy costs and were also attributed to strengthened demand, particularly in the U.S., and tight industry supply. The higher sales volume was attributed primarily to strengthened end-use demand in the packaging, transportation, and durable goods markets, particularly in the U.S. Operating earnings in second quarter 2011 increased to $99 million compared with operating earnings of $92 million in second quarter 2010. The increase was due to higher selling prices, higher sales volume, and the increased benefits from cracking propane to produce propylene at low cost, which more than offset higher raw material and energy costs.

Fibers  Sales revenue increased by 21 percent due to a favorable shift in product mix, higher sales volume, and higher selling prices. The favorable shift in product mix was mainly due to higher acetate tow sales volume resulting from increased utilization of the recently completed acetate tow manufacturing facility in Korea. The higher selling prices were in response to higher raw material and energy costs, particularly for wood pulp. Operating earnings in second quarter 2011 increased to $93 million compared with $81 million in second quarter 2010 due to higher acetate tow sales volume in Asia Pacific and higher selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material and energy costs. 

Performance Chemicals and Intermediates – Sales revenue increased by 35 percent due to higher selling prices and higher sales volume. The higher selling prices were in response to higher raw material and energy costs and were also attributed to strengthened demand in the U.S. and tight industry supply. The higher sales volume was due to growth in plasticizer product lines and was also attributed to customer buying patterns for acetyl chemicals. In addition, sales volume increased due to the fourth quarter 2010 restart of a previously idled olefins cracking unit at the Texas facility. Operating earnings in second quarter 2011 increased to $88 million compared to $71 million in second quarter 2010 excluding restructuring charges. The increase was due primarily to higher selling prices, higher sales volume, and the increased benefits from cracking propane to produce propylene at low cost, which more than offset higher raw material and energy costs.

Specialty Plastics – Sales revenue increased by 23 percent due primarily to higher selling prices, which more than offset higher raw material and energy costs, particularly for paraxylene. Operating earnings in second quarter 2011 increased to $37 million compared with operating earnings of $21 million in second quarter 2010. Operating earnings increased in the Asia Pacific region due to higher selling prices and in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region due to both higher sales volume and higher selling prices.

Cash Flow
 
Eastman generated $207 million in cash from operating activities during second quarter 2011, primarily due to strong net earnings. Second-quarter 2011 cash flows included $55 million of a total anticipated $110 million tax payment for the gain on the sale of the PET business completed in first quarter 2011. During second quarter 2011, share repurchases totaled $103 million.

Outlook

Commenting on the outlook for third quarter and full year 2011, Rogers said: "Our strong portfolio of businesses delivered significant earnings growth in the first half of 2011, and we expect they will continue to deliver earnings growth in the second half of the year. We also expect normal seasonal declines in our sales volume, and continued volatility in raw material and energy costs. In addition, we will have costs related to planned and unplanned shutdowns that are expected to be approximately $25 million higher in the second half of 2011 compared with the first half.  Even with these higher costs, we expect third quarter 2011 earnings per share to be slightly higher than third quarter 2010 earnings per share of $2.22. In addition, we expect full-year 2011 earnings per share to be slightly higher than $9.25." Costs and charges related to acquisitions that could be completed in the second half of the year are excluded from earnings projections.

(1)  
First six months 2010 cash from operating activities reflected the adoption of amended accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets which resulted in $200 million of receivables, which were previously accounted for as sold and removed from the balance sheet when transferred under the accounts receivable securitization program, being included on the first quarter balance sheet as trade receivables, net.  This increase in receivables reduced cash from operations by $200 million in first quarter 2010.
(2)  
Second quarter 2011 cash flows included $55 million of a total anticipated $110 million tax payment for the tax gain on the sale of the PET business completed in first quarter 2011.
