GRACE REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
COLUMBIA, Maryland, July 23, 2008 — W. R. Grace & Co. (NYSE: GRA) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. Highlights are as follows:
· Sales for the second quarter were $900.0 million compared with $812.8 million in the prior year quarter, a 10.7% increase (4.8% before the effects of currency translation). The sales increase was attributable to favorable currency translation, improved pricing, and volume growth in both operating segments. Sales were up 8.6% in North America, 9.8% in Europe Africa, 18.0% in Asia Pacific and 7.3% in Latin America.
· Net income for the second quarter was $25.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with net income of $20.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. The 2008 and 2007 results were negatively affected by Chapter 11 expenses, litigation and other matters not related to core operations. Excluding Chapter 11 expenses, the loss on noncore activities, and their tax effects, net income would have been $51.7 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared with $48.4 million calculated on the same basis for the prior year quarter, a 6.8% increase.
· Pre-tax income from core operations was $90.4 million in the second quarter compared with $93.1 million in the prior year quarter, a 2.9% decrease. Excluding severance costs related to a previously disclosed reduction in workforce, pre-tax income from core operations in the second quarter would have been $95.6 million, a 2.7% increase over the prior year quarter. Inflation on raw materials and energy costs totaled approximately $40 million in the second quarter when compared with the prior year quarter, negatively affecting margins and pre-tax income.
· Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,659.2 million compared with $1,528.4 million for the prior year period, an 8.6% increase (3.0% before the effects of
currency translation). Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $38.6 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared with $25.3 million, or $0.35 per diluted share for the prior year period. Excluding Chapter 11 expenses, the loss on noncore activities, and their tax effects, net income would have been $84.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with $76.5 million calculated on the same basis for 2007, a 9.8% increase. Pre-tax income from core operations was $152.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, down 0.7% from the prior year period.
“We saw solid demand in our Grace Davison businesses and strength in certain of our Grace Construction Products businesses,” said Grace’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Fred Festa. “However, we are experiencing significant and accelerating cost inflation that is affecting profitability. Pricing actions already taken increased revenue by approximately $28 million in the quarter, and we are taking further actions to improve prices and margins.” Today Grace is announcing additional price increases of up to 20% on its Grace Davison products.
CORE OPERATIONS
Grace Davison
Second quarter sales for the Grace Davison operating segment, which includes specialty catalysts and materials used in a wide range of industrial applications, were $584.8 million, up 11.6% from the prior year quarter. Sales of this operating segment are reported by product group as follows:
· Refining Technologies – sales of catalysts and chemical additives used by petroleum refineries were $285.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, up 11.6% from the prior year quarter.
· Materials Technologies – sales of engineered materials, coatings and sealants used in numerous industrial, consumer and packaging applications were $194.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, up 14.4% from the prior year quarter.
· Specialty Technologies – sales of highly specialized catalysts and materials used in unique or proprietary applications and markets were $104.4 million in the second quarter, up 6.6% from the prior year quarter and up 14.5% after excluding prior year sales of a product line sold in 2007.
Sales in all product groups were favorably affected by foreign currency translation (which most significantly affected the Materials Technologies product group), volume increases, and price increases in response to higher raw material and energy costs.
Pre-tax operating income of Grace Davison for the second quarter was $68.5 million compared with $73.1 million in the prior year quarter, a 6.3% decrease. The decrease in operating income was principally due to raw material and energy cost inflation, which outpaced price improvements and productivity gains. Operating margin was 11.7%, compared with 13.9% in the prior year quarter.
Sales of the Grace Davison operating segment for the first six months of 2008 were $1,081.9 million, up 9.1% over the same period in 2007. Year-to-date pre-tax operating income was $130.8 million, a 2.6% increase over the first six months of 2007, with operating margins at 12.1%, compared with 12.9% last year. Year-to-date operating results reflect continuing inflationary pressures.
Grace Construction Products
Second quarter sales for the Grace Construction Products operating segment, which includes specialty chemicals and building materials used in commercial, infrastructure and residential construction, were $315.2 million, up 9.2% from the prior year quarter. Sales of this operating segment are reported by geographic region as follows:
· Americas – sales of products to customers in North, Central and South America were $163.4 million, up 7.4% from the prior year quarter.
· Europe – sales of products to customers in Eastern and Western Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India were $113.4 million, up 11.9% from the prior year quarter.
· Asia – sales of products to customers in Asia (excluding India), Pacific Rim countries, Australia and New Zealand were $38.4 million, up 9.4% from the prior year quarter.
Sales were favorably affected by foreign currency translation and higher selling prices in all major geographic regions and product lines. Second quarter sales of Grace
Construction Products in the U.S. were up 5.9% over the prior year period, driven by improving sales of waterproofing and fire protection products.
Pre-tax operating income of Grace Construction Products for the second quarter was $44.8 million compared with $46.1 million for the prior year quarter, a 2.8% decrease. Excluding severance costs related to a previously disclosed reduction in workforce, pre-tax operating income in the second quarter was $49.5 million, a 7.4% increase over the prior year quarter. The increase in 2008 operating income (excluding severance costs) was primarily a result of price increases and productivity gains, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Operating margin was 14.2%, compared with 16.0% in the second quarter of 2007. Operating margin excluding severance costs was 15.7% in the second quarter of 2008.
Sales of the Grace Construction Products operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $577.3 million, up 7.6% over the same period in 2007. Year-to-date pre-tax operating income was $69.5 million compared with $72.9 million for the first six months of the prior year, a 4.7% decrease, reflecting continued weakness in the U.S. construction market, raw material cost inflation, and the second quarter severance costs. Operating margin of 12.0% was down 1.6 percentage points compared with the same period last year.
Corporate Operating Costs
Corporate costs related to core operations were $22.9 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with $26.1 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 12.3%, primarily due to lower expenses for pensions and other employment-related costs. Year-to-date corporate costs related to core operations were $47.7 million compared with $46.7 million in the first half of 2007, an increase of 2.1%.
PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS) FROM NONCORE ACTIVITIES
Noncore activities (as reflected in the attached Segment Basis Analysis) includes events and transactions not directly related to the generation of operating revenue or the support of core operations. The pre-tax loss from noncore activities was $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with a loss of $21.0 million in the prior year quarter, and $13.3 million year-to-date 2008 compared with $26.8 million in the first half of 2007. The
lower year-to-date loss is principally due to foreign currency translation gains on certain intercompany loans, net of hedge contract costs, and lower environmental remediation charges.
INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES
Interest expense was $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared with $20.3 million for the comparable period in 2007, and $29.6 million year-to-date in 2008 compared with $39.7 million in the first half of last year. The change in interest expense is attributable to reductions in the prime rate and reduced interest accruals for certain pre-petition obligations, partially offset by the effects of compounding interest on certain liabilities subject to compromise over the course of Grace’s Chapter 11 proceeding. The annualized weighted average interest rate on pre-petition obligations for the quarter was 4.88%.
Income taxes are recorded at a global effective rate of approximately 33% before considering the effects of certain non-deductible Chapter 11 expenses, changes in uncertain tax positions and other discrete adjustments. Income taxes related to foreign jurisdictions are generally paid in cash, while Grace expects taxable income in the United States will be offset by available tax deductions.
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”) in order to resolve Grace’s asbestos-related liabilities.
On April 7, 2008, Grace announced an agreement in principle that provides for a settlement of all present and future asbestos-related personal injury claims. The agreement, reached with the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants, the Future Claimants Representative and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, requires the establishment of a trust under Section 524(g) of the United States Bankruptcy Code to which all present and future asbestos-related claims would be channeled. This agreement contemplates the filing of a plan of reorganization and related
documents with the Bankruptcy Court, and would be subject to obtaining exit financing and Bankruptcy Court and District Court approvals.
Most of Grace’s noncore liabilities and contingencies (including asbestos-related litigation, environmental claims and other obligations) are subject to compromise under the Chapter 11 process. The agreement to resolve Grace’s asbestos-related liabilities and the settlement of other unresolved claims in the Chapter 11 case would result in allowable claims that differ from amounts recorded as part of liabilities subject to compromise as of June 30, 2008. Grace expects to incorporate the terms of the agreement in principle into a joint plan of reorganization and related documentation. Grace expects to adjust its recorded asbestos-related liability as necessary: to reflect rulings made by the Bankruptcy Court; when a new joint plan of reorganization is filed; and when significant uncertainties have been resolved. Such adjustments may be material to Grace’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Expenses related to Grace’s Chapter 11 proceedings, net of filing entity interest income, were $18.0 million in the second quarter compared with $23.6 million in the prior year quarter.
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
Grace’s net cash used for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $99.2 million compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $5.2 million for the prior year period. The change in net cash flow from operating activities was primarily attributable to a payment of $100 million related to the previously announced $250 million settlement of environmental claims in Libby, Montana. The remaining $150 million was paid on July 2, 2008. Net cash used for investing activities was $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
At June 30, 2008, Grace had available liquidity of approximately $692.7 million, consisting of $395.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $50.5 million in short-term investment securities, $70.7 million in net cash value of life insurance policies, approximately $83.8 million of available credit under various non-U.S. credit facilities and approximately $92.3 million of available credit under its $165.0 million debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) facility.
Grace believes that these sources and amounts of liquidity are sufficient to support its business operations, strategic initiatives and Chapter 11 proceedings until a plan of reorganization is confirmed and Grace emerges from bankruptcy. Grace is exploring sources of new financing of up to $1.5 billion to fund a plan of reorganization.

Note (a): In the above chart, as well as the financial discussion in other parts of this earnings release, Grace presents its financial results of operations by operating segment and between “core operations” and “noncore activities”. Core operations comprise the financial results of Grace Davison, Grace Construction Products and the cost of corporate activities that directly or indirectly support business operations. In contrast, noncore activities comprise all other events and transactions not directly related to the generation of operating revenue or the support of core operations and generally relate to Grace’s former operations and products. Grace uses pre-tax income from core operations as the performance factor in determining certain incentive compensation and as the profitability factor in all significant business decisions. Pre-tax income from core operations, pre-tax loss from noncore activities, pre-tax income from core operations as a percentage of sales, and pre-tax income from core operations before depreciation and amortization do not purport to represent income or cash flow measures as defined under United States generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to such measures as an indicator of Grace’s performance. These measures are provided to distinguish operating results of Grace’s current business base from the income and expenses of past businesses, discontinued products, and corporate legacies, including the effect of Grace’s Chapter 11 proceedings.
Note (b): Reflects the add-back of minority interest expense.
Note (c): Includes depreciation and amortization related to manufacturing of products.
