GRACE REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
COLUMBIA, Maryland, January 25, 2005 -- W. R. Grace & Co. (NYSE: GRA) today
reported that 2004 fourth quarter sales totaled $589.1 million compared with
$511.3 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 15.2%. Revenue from
higher volumes and improved product mix accounted for about half of the
increase, with favorable currency translation, acquisitions and price increases
accounting for the remainder.
Grace reported a fourth quarter net loss of $487.4 million, or $7.36 per diluted
share, compared with a net loss of $49.5 million, or $0.75 per share, in the
fourth quarter of 2003. The 2004 fourth quarter includes a net pre-tax charge of
$570.7 million to account for certain terms and conditions under Grace's
proposed plan of reorganization filed in November 2004, as amended on January
13, 2005 (the "Plan"). The charge includes an increase in the recorded liability
for asbestos-related litigation, net of insurance recovery, of $476.6 million,
and additional interest on pre-petition debt and general unsecured claims of
$94.1 million. The asbestos-related charge conforms to a condition precedent to
confirmation of the Plan that the Bankruptcy Court shall have found that the
maximum amount necessary to fund Grace's asbestos-related liabilities (including
trust administration costs) does not exceed $1,613 million. The interest related
charge is to account for an increase in the rate to which general unsecured
creditors would be entitled under the Plan.
Pre-tax income from core operations in the fourth quarter of 2004 was $33.8
million compared with $51.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, a 34.1%
decrease. The fourth quarter reflects higher performance-related compensation as
well as increases in the costs of petroleum-based raw materials, transportation
fuels, energy and certain operating
(more)
-2-
expenses. These cost increases more than offset added profit from higher sales
and productivity improvements. "Our businesses continued to deliver solid sales
growth," said Grace's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paul J. Norris.
"However, the cost of raw materials and energy increased substantially in the
quarter causing lower profit margins. Actions have been taken to improve supply
chain productivity and to recognize the higher costs in our future selling
prices."
For the full year 2004, Grace reported sales of $2,259.9 million, a 14.1%
increase over 2003. Currency translation and acquisitions accounted for 3.8 and
2.3 percentage points of the increase, respectively. Grace reported a net loss
for the full year ended December 31, 2004 of $402.3 million or $6.11 per share,
compared with a net loss of $55.2 million, or $0.84 per share, for 2003. The
2004 net loss includes a $592.3 million pre-tax charge to account for certain
terms and conditions in the Plan and for revised estimates of Grace's cost to
resolve non-asbestos-related contingent liabilities, and $18.0 million of
Chapter 11-related expenses. Pre-tax income from core operations was $179.3
million in 2004, compared with $148.7 million in 2003, a 20.6% increase. Full
year pre-tax operating margin was 7.9%, about 0.4 percentage points higher than
last year. The increase in 2004 operating profit and margins was attributable
principally to strong sales growth across all product lines and productivity
gains in manufacturing processes; offset by higher costs for pensions, certain
raw materials and energy. "We are very pleased with our business progress and
results for 2004" said Mr. Norris. "We also saw progress in our Chapter 11
proceedings with the filing of our reorganization plan in the fourth quarter. We
hope that this filing and related motions will be viewed favorably by the
Bankruptcy Court and will accelerate our exit from Chapter 11."
CORE OPERATIONS
- ---------------
DAVISON CHEMICALS
REFINING TECHNOLOGIES AND SPECIALTY MATERIALS
Fourth quarter sales for the Davison Chemicals segment were $319.7 million, up
17.5% from the prior year quarter, mainly reflecting volume increases from
growth programs, improved economic conditions, and acquisitions. Excluding the
effects of favorable currency translation, sales were up 14.2% for the quarter.
Sales of refining technologies products, which include fluid cracking catalysts,
hydroprocessing catalysts and performance additives, were $177.4 million in the
fourth quarter, up 16.7% compared with
(more)
-3-
the prior year quarter (14.7% after accounting for favorable currency
translation). The increase resulted from volume gains particularly in Europe,
favorable product mix factors as customers move to higher performing catalysts,
and added revenue from the contractual pass-through of commodity metals costs.
Sales of specialty materials products, which include silica-based engineered
materials, specialty catalysts and separations products, were $142.3 million, up
18.4% compared with the fourth quarter of 2003, primarily attributable to sales
from the acquisition of Alltech International Holdings, Inc. completed in August
and favorable currency translation which accounted for 10.7 and 4.9 percentage
points, respectively. Operating income of the Davison Chemicals segment for the
fourth quarter was $36.1 million, 7.0% lower than the 2003 fourth quarter.
Operating margin was 11.3%, lower than the prior year quarter by 3.0 percentage
points. The decrease in operating income and margin was caused primarily by
substantially higher costs of raw materials and energy, offset by improved sales
in North America, Europe and Asia as well as favorable foreign currency
translation.
Full year sales for the Davison Chemicals segment were $1,192.2 million, up
14.6% from 2003 (excluding currency translation impacts, sales were up 10.8%).
Full year operating income was $148.2 million, compared with $118.9 million for
the prior year, a 24.6% increase, with 5.9 percentage points attributable to
favorable foreign currency translation. Full year operating results reflect
favorable economic conditions, product mix factors and cost structure
improvements, offset by the higher raw material and energy costs in the fourth
quarter.
PERFORMANCE CHEMICALS
CONSTRUCTION CHEMICALS, BUILDING MATERIALS, AND SEALANTS AND COATINGS
Fourth quarter sales for the Performance Chemicals segment were $269.4 million,
up 12.7% from the prior year quarter. Favorable currency translation accounted
for 2.8 percentage points of the increase. Sales of specialty construction
chemicals, which include concrete admixtures, cement additives and masonry
products, were $138.9 million, up 12.7% versus the year-ago quarter (10.0%
excluding favorable currency translation). Sales were up in all geographic
regions, mainly reflecting the continued success of growth initiatives. Sales of
specialty building materials, which include waterproofing and fire protection
products, were $64.1 million, up 21.2% compared with the fourth quarter of 2003
(up 18.5% excluding favorable currency translation impacts).
(more)
-4-
The fourth quarter results reflect strong sales of waterproofing materials,
particularly roofing underlayments and flashing tapes in North America and
specialty below-grade waterproofing worldwide. Sales of specialty sealants and
coatings, which include container sealants, coatings and polymers, were $66.4
million, up 5.4% compared with the fourth quarter of 2003 (2.5% after excluding
favorable currency translation impacts). The increase was primarily attributable
to higher volumes of coatings products and Daraform(R) closure sealants in
Europe, Asia and Latin America. Operating income for the Performance Chemicals
segment was $25.8 million, down 17.8% compared with a strong prior year quarter.
This reflected increased raw material costs, as well as higher operating
expenses to support the strong business growth in 2004. Operating margin of 9.6%
was 3.5 percentage points lower than the 2003 fourth quarter margin,
attributable to higher raw material and transportation costs and higher
operating expenses, partially offset by productivity gains.
Full year sales of the Performance Chemicals segment were $1,067.7 million, up
13.5% from 2003 (excluding currency translation impacts, sales were up 9.7%).
Full year operating income was $131.8 million compared with $107.9 million for
the prior year, a 22.2% increase, reflecting strong sales in all geographic
regions and positive results from productivity and cost containment initiatives.
CORPORATE COSTS AND OTHER MATTERS
Fourth quarter corporate costs related to core operations were $28.1 million
compared with $18.9 million in the prior year quarter; full year corporate costs
were $100.7 million compared with $78.1 million last year. The fourth quarter
and full year increases are attributable primarily to higher performance-related
compensation from the significant increase in operating income.
Also in the fourth quarter, Grace recorded a liability of $82.0 million to
account for the tax on undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries
that are likely to be repatriated in connection with the expected cash
requirements of the Plan. These earnings can no longer be considered retained
indefinitely by such subsidiaries for reinvestment.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
- -----------------------
Grace's full year cash flow provided by operating activities was $318.5 million
for 2004, compared with $110.9 million for the comparable period of 2003. Full
year pre-tax income from core operations before depreciation and amortization in
2004 was $288.1 million, 14.5% higher than 2003. These results reflect the
higher income from core operations described above. Cash used for investing
activities was $131.1 million in 2004, primarily for capital replacements and
business acquisitions. In addition, Grace contributed $20.0 million to its
qualified U.S. pension plans as permitted by a Bankruptcy Court order issued in
August.
At December 31, 2004, Grace had available liquidity in the form of cash ($510.4
million), net cash value of life insurance ($96.0 million) and unused credit
under its debtor-in-possession facility ($183.8 million). Grace believes that
these sources and amounts of liquidity are sufficient to support its strategic
initiatives and Chapter 11 proceedings for the foreseeable future.
CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS
- ----------------------
On April 2, 2001, Grace and 61 of its United States subsidiaries and affiliates,
including its primary U.S. operating subsidiary W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn., filed
voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware (the "Filing"). Grace's non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain of its U.S.
subsidiaries were not part of the Filing. Since the Filing, all motions
necessary to conduct normal business activities have been approved by the
Bankruptcy Court.
As previously reported, on November 13, 2004 Grace filed its proposed Plan, as
well as several associated documents, including a disclosure statement, with the
Delaware Bankruptcy Court. These documents were amended on January 13, 2005.
Copies of the Plan and related documents may be obtained through the Bankruptcy
Court. Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements for the fourth quarter and year
ended December 31, 2004 reflect adjustments to conform to the Plan as follows:
o An accrual and charge of $713.2 million to increase Grace's recorded
asbestos-related liability to that which is reflected as the maximum amount
allowed under the
(more)
-6-
conditions precedent to the Plan. This charge increases Grace's recorded
asbestos-related reserve as of December 31, 2004 to $1,700 million.
o An asset and credit of $236.6 million to increase Grace's estimate of
insurance proceeds to which it would be entitled to an aggregate of $500.0
million, based on an assumed asbestos-related liability of $1,700 million
as described above.
o An accrual and charge of $94.1 million to increase Grace's estimate of
interest to which general unsecured creditors would be entitled under the
Plan based on revised eligibility and interest rates that generally apply
as follows: 6.09% compounded quarterly on bank debt, contractual rates on
qualified claims as defined in the Plan and 4.19% compounded annually on
other qualified allowed claims.
o An asset and credit of $151.7 million for net income tax benefits related
to the items described above. The net pre-tax effect of the above items was
a $570.7 million charge to reflect the net liability aspects of the Plan.
The deferred tax benefit on this net liability is $199.7 million at a
statutory rate of 35%. Of this amount, $48.0 million exceeds Grace's
analysis of the tax assets that can be realized under conservative
scenarios of future taxable income (exclusive of the tax effects under the
litigation settlements with Sealed Air Corporation and Fresenius Medical
Care). Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $48.0 million has been
recorded against the total of Grace's deferred tax assets.
No accounting has been made for the assets available to fund Grace's
asbestos-related and other liabilities under the litigation settlements with
Sealed Air Corporation and Fresenius Medical Care as such agreements are subject
to conditions which, although expected to be met, have not been satisfied and
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The value available under these litigation
settlement agreements, as measured at December 31, 2004, was $1,165.7 million
comprised of $115.0 million in cash from Fresenius and $1,050.7 million in cash
and stock from Sealed Air.
Most of Grace's noncore liabilities and contingencies (including
asbestos-related litigation, environmental claims, tax matters and other
obligations) are subject to compromise under the Chapter 11 process. The Chapter
11 proceedings, including related litigation and the claims valuation process,
could result in allowable claims that differ materially from recorded amounts.
Grace will adjust its estimates of allowable claims as facts come to light
during the Chapter 11 process that justify a change, and as Chapter 11
proceedings establish court-accepted measures of Grace's noncore liabilities.
See Grace's recent Securities and Exchange Commission filings for discussion of
noncore liabilities and contingencies.

GRACE OBTAINS COURT APPROVAL TO PROTECT TAX BENEFITS
- ----------------------------------------------------
In order to preserve the future tax benefits related to its significant U.S.
federal net operating losses ("NOLs"), Grace has obtained a Bankruptcy Court
order imposing notice requirements and potential restrictions on stock
acquisitions by those persons or entities that (i) currently own 4.75% or more
of Grace common stock or (ii) seek to acquire 4.75% or more of Grace common
stock. Pursuant to the order, Grace has the right to object in Bankruptcy Court
to such persons or entities acquiring Grace common stock if such acquisition
would pose a material risk of adversely affecting Grace's ability to utilize its
NOLs. Under U.S. tax rules, NOLs are subject to potentially severe limitations
in the event of ownership changes triggering a change in control (as defined
under the Internal Revenue Code). The order will remain in effect until Grace
emerges from Chapter 11.

Note (a): Effective in May 2004, Grace realigned its product groups within the
Davison Chemicals business segment as follows: Refining Technologies includes
fluid cracking catalysts and additives, hydroprocessing catalysts and membranes;
Specialty Materials includes silica products and polyolefin and chemical
catalysts. All periods have been restated to reflect this realignment.
Note (b): Neither pre-tax income from core operations nor pre-tax income from
core operations before depreciation and amortization purport to represent income
or cash flow as defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and
should not be considered an alternative to such measures as an indicator of the
Company's performance. These measures are provided to distinguish operating
results of Grace's current business base from results and related assets and
liabilities of past businesses, discontinued products and corporate legacies.
