Cautionary Statements
Our
presentation
today
may
include
forward-looking
statements
within
the
meaning
of
Section
27A
of
the
Securities
Act
of
1933
and
Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements involve risk and uncertainty, including financial, business
environment
and
projections,
and
related
to
matters
that
are
not
historical
facts.
Such
statements
are
preceded
by,
followed
by
or
include
the words “believes,”
“can,”
“expects,”
“plans,”
“anticipates,”
“should,”
“enhances,”
“estimates,”
“forecasts,”
“will”
or similar expressions.
Additionally, this presentation contains forward-looking statements relating to future performance, goals, strategic actions and initiatives
and similar intentions and beliefs, including, without limitation, statements with respect to Sigma-Aldrich Corporation’s (the “Company,”
“we,”
“us”
or “our”) expectations, goals, beliefs, intentions, outlook, plans and the like regarding future sales, earnings, free cash flow, share
repurchases, acquisitions and other matters.  These statements are based on assumptions regarding the Company operations,
investments and acquisitions and conditions in the market the Company serves. The Company believes these assumptions are reasonable
and well founded.  The statements in this presentation are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, certain economic,
political and technological factors.  Actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in this presentation, due to, but not
limited to, such factors as (1) global economic conditions, (2) changes in pricing and the competitive environment and the global demand
for
the
Company’s
products,
(3)
fluctuations
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates,
(4)
changes
in
research
funding
and
the
success
of
research and development activities, (5) failure of planned sales initiatives in our Research and SAFC business units, (6) dependence on
uninterrupted
manufacturing
operations
and
global
supply
chain,
(7)
changes
in
the
regulatory
environment
in
which
the
Company
operates, (8) changes in worldwide tax rates or tax benefits from domestic and international operations, including the matters described in
Note 10 –
Income Taxes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Part II in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “10-K”), (9) exposure to litigation including product liability claims, (10) the ability
to maintain adequate quality standards, (11) reliance on third party package delivery services, (12) an unanticipated increase in interest
rates, (13) other changes in the business environment in which the Company operates, (14) the outcome of the outstanding matters
described in Note 11 –
Contingent Liabilities and Commitments, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8,
Part II in the 10-K and (15) acquisitions or divestitures of businesses.  A further discussion of the Company’s risk factors can be found in
Item 1A of Part I of the 10-K.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
With over 60 percent of sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, management uses currency adjusted growth, and
believes it is useful to investors, to judge the Company’s local currency performance. Organic sales growth data presented herein excludes
currency
impacts,
and
where
indicated,
acquisition
impacts.
The
Company
calculates
the
impact
of
changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates by multiplying current period activity by the difference between current period exchange rates and prior period exchange rates; the
result
is
the
defined
impact
of
“changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates”
or
“changes
in
FX.”
While
we
are
able
to
report
currency
impacts after the fact, we are unable to estimate changes that may occur later in 2012 to applicable exchange rates.  Any significant
changes in currency exchange rates would likely have a significant impact on our reported growth rates due to the volume of our sales
denominated in foreign currencies.
Management also uses the following non-GAAP measures to judge its performance and ability to pursue opportunities that enhance
shareholder value:  adjusted net income and EPS; adjusted operating income margin (reconciled on Slide 14); and free cash flow (provided
on Slide 17).  Due to the uncertain timing of future restructuring and other special charges we are unable to include these charges in the
2012 diluted adjusted EPS forecast or provide reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures. Management believes this non-GAAP
information is useful to investors as well. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP information are included in the Company’s April 24, 2012
earnings
release
posted
on
its
website,
www.sigma-aldrich.com,
and
in
