Update on Delta’s Specialty Chemical Operations

Over the past three months, Delta continued to benefit from higher pricing for its two main product lines, PCT/OCT downstream products and unsaturated polyester resin (“UPR”).

The Company’s products are largely subject to cyclical changes in chemical pricing, which has begun to positively turn in the specific niche product segments in which Delta operates due to stronger global demand. These products are utilized in a number of industrial, agricultural, and military applications, including anti-corrosive coating, chemical reaction starters, and pesticides. Delta is the second largest producer of PCT/OCT in the world and also one of the top chemical manufacturers of UPR as well.

Chairman Chao commented, “Delta’s strength is in part due to our broad distribution to our base of nearly 400 global customers. We are continuing to see sales growth among each of our product categories. In addition, we are seeing unique margin expansion as a result of lower comparable crude oil prices in 2015, which is one of the Company’s largest raw material costs. We believe that our leading market position has Delta well-positioned to take advantage of a turn in the market cycle.”

Chairman Chao concluded, “We intend to expand our business to include such higher-margin enterprises such as the logistics and online servicing of our specialty chemicals. We believe that Delta is in the unique position of having created a hyper-focused business with a service component and customer experience that will allow us to outperform larger commodity entities over the course of multiple pricing cycles. We are very excited to move forward after the commencement of trading on NASDAQ and pleased to provide this update to our shareholders.”
