Comment

 

Andrew N. Liveris, Dow's chairman and chief executive officer, stated:

 

"This marked another quarter of tremendous progress for Dow. We delivered significant and broad-based top-line growth, and reached a new quarterly sales record in emerging geographies. The performance of our diverse and balanced portfolio once again overcame continuing headwinds in certain sectors. More importantly, we remain firmly on the trajectory to reach our near-term earnings targets, as evidenced by EBITDA growth of nearly 25 percent - up in every operating segment - as well as overall margin expansion for the Company. Further, our year-over-year EPS growth and our EBITDA run-rate of $9 billion are approaching our near-term target.

 

"Our transformed portfolio, underpinned by our cost-advantaged and flexible operations, is now performing at a new level. This is fueling higher-growth, higher-margin performance through superior market-reach, customer intimacy and innovation. We're delivering all of this while maintaining our steadfast commitment to enhance financial flexibility by paying down debt, and increasing shareholder remuneration. Coupled with the strength of our integrated business model, Dow is firmly on the right strategic path of sustained earnings growth."

Review of Second Quarter Results

 

The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) achieved sales of $16.0 billion in the second quarter of 2011, the second highest quarter in the Company's history. Sales increased 18 percent, driven by price gains of 17 percent compared with the same period last year.

 

Sales excluding the impact of divestitures increased 28 percent, with double-digit gains in all operating segments and all geographic areas.

 

At a Company level, volume grew 9 percent excluding the impact of divestitures, with gains in all operating segments excluding Coatings and Infrastructure, which was flat despite difficult conditions in construction end-markets, and Chemicals and Energy. On the same basis, double-digit volume growth was reported in Health and Agricultural Sciences (13 percent) and Plastics (10 percent). Volume increased in all geographic areas, led by Latin America (23 percent) and Asia Pacific (11 percent).

 

Price excluding the impact of divestitures rose 19 percent, with double-digit increases in all geographic areas. All operating segments except Electronic and Specialty Materials (up 7 percent) and Health and Agricultural Sciences (up 5 percent) reported double-digit price gains. Price gains more than offset a $1.5 billion increase in purchased feedstock and energy costs.

 

Sales in emerging geographies reached $4.9 billion, a new quarterly record for the Company. Growth was led by Latin America, which increased more than 35 percent excluding the impact of divestitures. Volume in emerging geographies increased 14 percent excluding the impact of divestitures, with double-digit gains in Electronic and Specialty Materials, Health and Agricultural Sciences, and Plastics.

 

At a Company level, EBITDA rose $451 million, or 24 percent, to $2.3 billion. This contributed to a new record first-half EBITDA excluding certain items. On the same basis, new quarterly records were achieved in both Electronic and Specialty Materials and Performance Systems. Health and Agricultural Sciences and Chemicals and Energy each posted EBITDA increases in excess of 40 percent.

 

EBITDA margin excluding certain items expanded year-over-year for the ninth consecutive quarter at a Company level, with Health and Agricultural Sciences, Performance Systems, and Chemicals and Energy each expanding more than 200 basis points. Electronic and Specialty Materials reported its ninth consecutive quarter of at least 25 percent EBITDA margin, excluding certain items, and Plastics delivered the eighth consecutive quarter in excess of 20 percent.

 

Reported earnings for the quarter were $0.84 per share, compared with reported earnings of $0.50 per share in the same period last year. The Company delivered $0.85 per share excluding certain items, compared with $0.54 per share on the same basis in the year-ago period. Certain items in the current quarter consisted of a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $0.01 per share. (See Supplemental Information at the end of the release for a description of certain items affecting results.)

 

Dow's global operating rate was 84 percent, up 4 percent from the same year-ago period. Sequentially, the Company's operating rate rose 1 percent.

 

Research and Development (R&D) expenses rose 1 percent versus the same period last year. The Company continued to invest in technology-driven segments led by Coatings and Infrastructure for DOWtm POWERHOUSEtm solar shingles and Electronic and Specialty Materials.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses rose 7 percent versus the year-ago period, primarily driven by increased spending in Health and Agricultural Sciences and Electronic and Specialty Materials in support of product launches and growth initiatives.

 

Equity earnings were $291 million, led by Dow Corning, MEGlobal and the Company's joint ventures in Kuwait. The Company's year-to-date equity earnings were $589 million, marking the Company's highest ever first-half equity earnings.

 

The Company continued to surpass its growth synergy targets, delivering $1.5 billion in sales on an annual run-rate basis. Sequentially, the Company's run-rate grew 24 percent.

 

Net debt to total capitalization declined to 41.6 percent. In line with continued deleveraging efforts, the Company retired $1.5 billion of gross debt in the quarter, bringing the year-to-date total debt retirement to $4 billion and reducing interest expense by $250 million on an annual basis going forward.

 

"This marked another quarter of tremendous progress for Dow," said Andrew N. Liveris, Dow's chairman and chief executive officer. "We delivered significant and broad-based top-line growth, and reached a new quarterly sales record in emerging geographies. The performance of our diverse and balanced portfolio once again overcame continuing headwinds in certain sectors.

Electronic and Specialty Materials

 

Sales in Electronic and Specialty Materials were $1.5 billion, up 13 percent from the same quarter last year, driven by 6 percent volume growth and price gains of 7 percent. Dow Electronic Materials reported a solid volume gain, with the strongest demand growth in the Display Technologies and Growth Technologies businesses, driven by new product introductions. In Asia Pacific, Dow Electronic Materials reported double-digit demand growth, with gains across all business units, resulting from favorable demand trends in the region. The business recorded several customer wins in the quarter, including electroplating materials, chemical mechanical planarization pads and display films.

 

Specialty Materials reported a solid year-over-year sales increase, with double-digit gains across all geographic areas. Dow Water and Process Solutions reported quarterly sales and EBITDA records, driven by double-digit volume growth in all geographic areas except North America. Volume gains were reported in ion exchange resins, reverse osmosis membranes and the business' ultrafiltration platform. Dow Wolff Cellulosics reported an increase in sales, with double-digit volume gains in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Latin America, driven by strength in food and pharmaceuticals demand. Dow Microbial Control continued to see volume growth in North America, led by ongoing demand from energy end-markets.

 

Equity earnings were $97 million, reflecting a solid contribution from Dow Corning. This compares with equity earnings of $112 million in the same period last year. EBITDA for the segment was $429 million, which compares with EBITDA of $426 million in the year-ago period.

 

Coatings and Infrastructure

 

Coatings and Infrastructure sales were $1.6 billion. Excluding the impact of divestitures, sales were up 14 percent, completely driven by price gains. Double-digit sales gains were reported in Dow Adhesives and Functional Polymers, Dow Building and Construction, and Dow Coating Materials. Volume growth in Dow Building and Construction and Dow Coating Materials continued to be restrained by soft demand from construction and architectural end-markets in developed regions.

 

Dow Adhesives and Functional Polymers reported volume growth in all geographic areas, except EMEA, with the largest gain in Asia Pacific. The business also reported a double-digit increase in price, reflecting actions taken in response to high raw material costs. Dow Building and Construction reported demand growth across all geographic areas except North America, where new construction starts remain significantly depressed. The business reported a double-digit volume gain in Asia Pacific, driven primarily by demand in China. Results for the business were partly impacted by ongoing investment in DOWtm POWERHOUSEtm solar shingles. Dow Coating Materials reported price gains across all geographic areas as the business responded to a sharp rise in raw materials costs. In architectural coatings, volume gains were reported in Latin America, Asia Pacific and EMEA, while industry conditions remained difficult in North America. Industrial coatings volume fell as a result of strong pricing initiatives to offset higher raw material costs, particularly in the epoxy chain.

 

EBITDA for the segment was $231 million, which compares with EBITDA of $230 million in the same period last year.

 

Health and Agricultural Sciences

 

Health and Agricultural Sciences reported record second quarter sales of $1.5 billion, up 18 percent compared with the year-ago period. Volume increased 13 percent and price rose 5 percent. All geographic areas reported double-digit sales gains versus the same period last year. The business also posted record first-half sales of more than $3 billion.

 

Seeds, Traits and Oils reported demand growth of more than 35 percent. A continued increase in adoption of SmartStax® hybrids in North America and a strong growing season in Latin America drove significant volume increases in corn. Cotton finished a strong season with first-half sales up more than 50 percent, driven by an increase in U.S. planted acres and continued penetration of PhytoGen® cottonseeds. Also in the quarter, the business announced plans to acquire Prairie Brand Seeds, a leading provider of top-quality, high-yielding soybeans, further expanding Dow AgroSciences' broad range of product offerings.

 

Double-digit growth in agricultural chemical sales was driven by volume gains resulting from new product sales and increased demand for range and pasture products. Globally, new agricultural chemical product sales were up nearly 40 percent versus the same quarter last year, led by increased demand for rice herbicides in Asia Pacific and strong sales of cereal herbicides in the United States and Canada.

 

EBITDA for the segment was $287 million, which compares with $196 million in the year-ago period.

 

Performance Systems

 

Sales in Performance Systems were $1.9 billion. Sales excluding divestitures were up 19 percent compared with the same quarter last year. Price was up 17 percent, reflecting actions taken in response to higher raw material costs, with double-digit increases achieved in all geographic areas. Volume increased 2 percent, led by Latin America and North America. Dow Automotive Systems reported double-digit volume expansion in Latin America, primarily driven by demand growth in Brazil and Mexico. The business also reported demand growth for its technology-differentiated products in acoustical and adhesives (e.g., glass bonding) applications. Dow Elastomers reported sales growth of more than 25 percent, driven by volume and price gains across all geographic areas. The business' sales in Asia Pacific rose more than 50 percent, primarily due to the successful start-up of a new joint venture specialty elastomers train in Thailand.

 

Dow Formulated Systems volume contracted in the quarter due to continued weakness in construction end-markets, particularly in EMEA, as well as lower demand for wind energy applications in China. Dow Wire and Cable reported a double-digit sales increase, driven by broad-based price gains, as well as volume growth resulting from robust demand for power transmission and telecommunications applications in Latin America, particularly in Brazil and Mexico.

 

EBITDA was $260 million, representing a new quarterly record for Performance Systems. In the year-ago period, EBITDA was $225 million, which included a $15 million pretax gain on the divestiture of Styron.

 

Performance Products

 

Sales in Performance Products were $3.2 billion. Sales excluding divestitures were up 29 percent compared with the year-ago period. Price increased 20 percent, as a result of pricing initiatives to offset higher raw material costs. Volume increased 9 percent and grew in all geographic areas, with double-digit gains in North America and Asia Pacific. Amines posted a double-digit volume increase, driven by ethanolamines used in agricultural chemicals and by ethyleneamines demand in China. The Epoxy business continued to report strong double-digit year-over-year sales growth, with a volume gain of more than 25 percent, led by EMEA and North America. Polyglycols, Surfactants and Fluids also reported volume growth, led by Latin America and Asia Pacific. Demand was particularly strong for surfactants in food and fuel applications, and also for lubricants, driven by uses in steel and automotive industries. Oxygenated Solvents reported double-digit price gains across all geographic areas. The business continues to see strong underlying demand in its key end-use markets of energy, health and nutrition and oil additives. Polyurethanes sales growth was driven by double-digit price gains in all geographic areas. Volume growth was led by North America and Latin America, as the business benefited from tight supply conditions in the polyurethanes industry.

 

EBITDA for Performance Products was $387 million. This compares with EBITDA of $330 million for the year-ago period, which included a $26 million pretax gain on the divestiture of Styron, partially offset by a $12 million adjustment to the 2009 restructuring charge.

 

Plastics

 

Sales in Plastics were $3.3 billion. Sales excluding divestitures increased 30 percent compared with the same quarter last year. Volume increased 10 percent, while price rose 20 percent. Polyethylene reported broad-based sales gains, driven by double-digit increases in both volume and price. The business continued to record volume growth in Asia Pacific due, in part, to additional sales from a new joint venture manufacturing facility in Thailand. As a result of disciplined price and volume management and the Company's cost-advantaged position in feedstocks, Plastics maintained strong margins despite high and volatile raw material costs. Polypropylene reported a significant sales increase in all geographic areas except Asia Pacific as broad-based, double-digit price gains in the packaging and hygiene and medical sectors were achieved in response to rising propylene costs. The business reported robust demand in North America due to low inventory levels in the value chain and growing demand in automotive, consumer durable goods, and packaging end-markets.

 

Equity earnings for the segment were $65 million, compared with $59 million in the year-ago period. EBITDA for the segment was $751 million. In the same period last year, EBITDA was $696 million, which included a $10 million pretax gain on the divestiture of Styron.

 

Chemicals and Energy

 

Sales in the Chemicals and Energy segment were $1.0 billion, up 23 percent from the same period last year. Volume decreased 3 percent and price rose 26 percent. The Chlor-Alkali/Chlor-Vinyl business reported strong sales growth, particularly in EMEA where the business achieved double-digit price increases. The largest price gains were reported in caustic soda, where tight supply and continued strong demand in the alumina and pulp and paper industries supported further pricing initiatives. Vinyl chloride monomer sales were higher than the same period last year due to strong price increases in response to rising ethylene costs. Ethylene Oxide/Ethylene Glycol volume increased from the year-ago period as the industry experienced unplanned production outages and planned turnarounds. The business reported a double-digit increase in price, led by gains in EMEA and North America.

 

Equity earnings were $130 million for the quarter, compared with $54 million in the year-ago period. EBITDA for the segment was $282 million, which compares with EBITDA of $100 million in the same period last year.

 

Outlook

 

Commenting on the Company's outlook, Liveris said:

 

"Dow's broad geographic reach and leadership in many attractive, high-growth end-markets firmly position us to benefit from the megatrends that are defining our future. On the whole we see growth continuing to gain traction in developed markets, albeit at a somewhat uneven and jagged pace given persistently high unemployment in the United States and sovereign debt concerns in Europe. In fast-growing emerging geographies, despite some inflationary pressures, the rapid expansion of the middle class continues to drive robust underlying fundamentals, and our strong presence and diversification in these high-growth economies continues to serve us well.

 

"Overall, while no one is immune to unexpected global economic developments, Dow's focus remains steadfast on achieving our strategic objectives, and we are optimistic about our growth prospects in the second half and beyond. Our investments to drive growth, coupled with our actions to further enhance our financial flexibility and market diversification, provide a foundation of strength. With these strengths we will continue to mitigate volatile external conditions and capitalize on areas of greatest opportunity - evidenced by the top- and bottom-line growth we delivered once again this quarter. This is the power of our strategy in action."

 

Dow will host a live Webcast of its second 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.

(1) The Company uses EBITDA (which Dow defines as earnings (i.e., "Net Income") before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) as its measure of profit/loss for segment reporting purposes. EBITDA includes all operating items related to the businesses, except depreciation and amortization, and excludes items that principally apply to the Company as a whole. A reconciliation of EBITDA to "Net Income Available for The Dow Chemical Company Common Stockholders" is provided below.
