Second Quarter Results
Sales increased 20.6% overall and 16.1% in the emerging regions compared with the prior year quarter. The sales increase was due to improved pricing (11.6%), favorable currency translation (5.6%), and higher sales volumes (3.4%).
Gross profit percentage was 36.8% compared with 35.7% in the prior year quarter and 36.2% in the 2011 first quarter. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to improved pricing partially offset by higher raw materials costs. Grace currently expects raw material cost inflation for 2011 to be approximately $75 million, excluding rare earth cost inflation.
Adjusted EBIT (see note A) was $132.8 million, an increase of 45.8% compared with $91.1 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBIT margin was 16.1% compared with 13.3% in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted EBIT was primarily due to the increase in sales and improved gross profit percentage compared with the prior year quarter.
Grace net income for the second quarter was $75.8 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared with $51.0 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.
Six Months Results
Sales increased 17.1% overall and 16.0% in the emerging regions for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the prior year period. The sales increase was due to improved pricing (9.2%), higher sales volumes (4.9%), and favorable currency translation (3.0%). Sales were $1,522.1 million compared with $1,299.9 million in the prior year period.
Grace net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $130.0 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, compared with $107.2 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Grace Davison
Sales up 25%; Segment operating income up 37%
Second quarter sales for the Grace Davison operating segment, which includes specialty catalysts and materials used in a wide range of industrial applications, were $568.6 million, an increase of 25.3% compared with the prior year quarter. The sales increase was due to improved pricing (16.3%), favorable currency translation (5.9%), and higher sales volumes (3.1%).
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 $267.8 million in the second quarter, an increase of 49.5% compared with the prior year quarter. Sales in this product group were favorably affected by price increases, implemented to reflect the higher value of new FCC catalyst technologies and to offset the rising cost of raw materials (primarily rare earths), higher volumes, and favorable currency translation. In the first quarter, Grace introduced eight new catalyst products with improved performance and reduced rare earth content designed to help customers mitigate the significantly higher cost of rare earth. Almost 50% of Grace’s FCC catalyst customers have adopted at least one of our new low or no rare earth products.
· Materials Technologies — sales of engineered materials, coatings and sealants used in industrial and packaging applications were $190.8 million in the second quarter, an increase of 9.6% compared with the prior year quarter. Sales in this product group were favorably affected by price increases, implemented to offset rising raw materials costs, and favorable currency translation, partially offset by lower sales volumes.
3
· Specialty Technologies — sales of highly specialized catalysts, materials and equipment used in unique or proprietary applications and markets were $110.0 million in the second quarter, an increase of 9.2% compared with the prior year quarter. Sales in this product group were favorably affected by higher sales volumes, favorable currency translation, and improved pricing.
Gross profit percentage was 38.1% compared with 36.2% in the prior year quarter and 37.4% in the 2011 first quarter. The increase in gross profit percentage compared with the prior year quarter was primarily due to improved pricing partially offset by higher raw materials costs.
Segment operating income for the second quarter was $145.7 million compared with $106.5 million in the prior year quarter, a 36.8% increase primarily due to improved pricing and higher sales volumes. Segment operating margin was 25.6% compared with 23.5% in the prior year quarter.
Sales of the Grace Davison operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 21.2% compared with the prior year period. Gross profit percentage was 37.8% compared with 35.6% in the prior year period. Segment operating income of Grace Davison was $264.0 million, an increase of 35.9% compared with the prior year period. Segment operating margin was 25.0% compared with 22.3% in the prior year period.
Grace Construction Products
Sales up 12%; Emerging region sales up 28%
Second quarter sales for the Grace Construction Products operating segment, which includes Specialty Construction Chemicals (SCC) products and Specialty Building Materials (SBM) products used in commercial, infrastructure and residential construction, were $257.8 million, up 11.6% compared with the prior year quarter. The sales increase was due to favorable currency translation (5.0%), higher sales volumes (4.2%), and
4
improved pricing (2.4%). Sales in the emerging regions increased 27.8% compared with the prior year quarter.
Sales of this operating segment are reported by geographic region as follows:
· Americas - sales to customers in the Americas were $129.9 million in the second quarter, an increase of 11.9% compared with the prior year quarter. Sales in North America increased 5.9% from the prior year quarter primarily due to improved pricing and higher sales volumes. Sales in Latin America grew 43.1% compared with the prior year quarter primarily due to higher sales volumes.
· Europe — sales to customers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India were $78.5 million in the second quarter, an increase of 4.7% compared with the prior year quarter. Sales were favorably impacted by currency translation and improved pricing, partially offset by lower sales volumes.
· Asia — sales to customers in Asia (excluding India), Australia and New Zealand were $49.4 million in the second quarter, an increase of 23.5% compared with the prior year quarter. Sales increased primarily due to higher sales volumes and favorable currency translation.
Gross profit percentage was 34.1% in the second quarter compared with 35.0% in the prior year quarter and 33.7% in the 2011 first quarter. The decrease in gross profit percentage compared with the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher raw material costs and the additional operating costs of new plants in the emerging regions, partially offset by improved pricing. The increase in gross profit percentage compared with the 2011 first quarter was primarily due to improved operating leverage.
Segment operating income for the second quarter was $29.6 million compared with $25.7 million for the prior year quarter, a 15.2% increase primarily due to higher sales volumes and favorable currency translation, partially offset by lower gross profit percentage. Segment operating margin was 11.5% compared with 11.1% in the prior year quarter.
5
Sales of the Grace Construction Products operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 8.8% compared with the prior year period. Gross profit percentage was 33.9% compared with 34.9% in the prior year period. Segment operating income was $45.9 million, an increase of 11.1% compared with the prior year period. Segment operating margin was 9.9% compared with 9.7% in the prior year period.
Corporate Costs
Corporate costs increased $4.7 million in the second quarter compared with the prior year quarter primarily due to higher performance based incentive compensation.
Pension Expense
Defined benefit pension expense for the second quarter was $15.1 million compared with $18.4 million for the prior year quarter, a 17.9% decrease. The decrease in expense was primarily due to benefits from an accelerated plan contribution of approximately $180 million made in March 2011 and good plan asset performance in the U.S. in 2010.
Interest
Interest expense was $11.0 million for the second quarter compared with $11.0 million for the prior year quarter. The annualized weighted average interest rate on pre-petition obligations for the second quarter was 3.5%.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded at a global effective tax rate of approximately 32% before considering the effects of certain non-deductible Chapter 11 expenses, changes in uncertain tax positions and other discrete adjustments.
Grace has not had to pay U.S. Federal income taxes in cash in recent years since available tax deductions and credits have fully offset U.S. taxable income. Income taxes in foreign jurisdictions are generally paid in cash. Grace expects to generate significant U.S. Federal net operating losses upon emergence from bankruptcy. Income taxes paid in
6
cash, excluding tax settlements, were $19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, or approximately 10.1% of income before income taxes.
Cash Flow Performance Measure
Adjusted Operating Cash Flow (see note A) was $130.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with $128.5 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures were $57.7 million compared with $42.2 million for the prior year period. Net working capital days were 56 days for the second quarter, compared with 49 days in the prior year quarter and 61 days in the 2011 first quarter. Higher rare earth costs added $47.8 million to accounts receivable and inventories during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
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 “Bankruptcy Court”) in order to resolve Grace’s asbestos-related liabilities.
On January 31, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order confirming Grace’s Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). The confirmation order must next be affirmed by the United States District Court. On June 28-29, 2011, the District Court heard oral arguments on affirmation and appeals to the confirmation order. The timing of Grace’s emergence from Chapter 11 will depend on affirmation of the Plan by the District Court and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set forth in the Plan, including the resolution of any further appeals. Grace is preparing to consummate the Plan as quickly as practicable. The Plan sets forth how all pre-petition claims and demands against Grace will be resolved. See Grace’s most recent periodic reports filed with the SEC for a detailed description of the Plan.

2011 Outlook Update
Higher sales; Higher Adjusted EBIT
As of July 26th, Grace expects 2011 sales to be $3.25 to $3.30 billion, compared with $2.85 to $2.95 billion in its February 10, 2011 outlook.
Grace expects 2011 Adjusted EBIT to be $465 to $480 million, compared with $365 to $385 million in its February outlook. Grace expects 2011 Adjusted EBITDA to be $585 to $600 million, compared with $485 to $505 million in its February outlook.
For 2011, Grace expects to maintain its gross profit percentage within its 35-37% target range. Gross profit percentage in the second half of 2011 is expected to be lower than in the first half of 2011 primarily due to the mathematical effect of higher rare earth surcharges and costs on calculated gross profit percentages.
Grace is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the income effects of the consummation of the Plan because the value of certain consideration payable to the asbestos trusts under the Plan (primarily the deferred payments and the warrants) will not ultimately be determined until the effective date of the Plan, the timing of which is uncertain. When the Plan is consummated, Grace expects to reduce its liabilities subject to compromise, including asbestos-related contingencies, recognize the value of the deferred payments and the warrants and recognize expense for the costs of consummating the Plan and the income tax effects of these items.

The Notes to the Financial Information are included as part of the Earnings Release.
(A): In the above charts, Grace presents its results of operations by operating segment and for adjusted operations. Adjusted EBIT means net income adjusted for interest income and expense, income taxes, Chapter 11- and asbestos-related costs, net, restructuring expenses and related asset impairments and gains and losses on sales of product lines and other investments. Adjusted EBITDA means Adjusted EBIT adjusted for depreciation and amortization. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow means Adjusted EBITDA plus pension expense plus or minus the change in net working capital and specified other assets and liabilities minus capital expenditures. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow excludes the cash flow effects of income taxes, defined benefit pension arrangements, Chapter 11- and asbestos- related costs, net, and any restructuring or divestment activities. Grace uses Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow as performance measures in significant business decisions. Adjusted EPS means Diluted EPS adjusted for restructuring expenses and related asset impairments, Chapter 11- and asbestos-related costs, net, and certain discrete tax items. Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital means Adjusted EBIT divided by the sum of net working capital, properties and equipment and certain other assets and liabilities. Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, and Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital do not purport to represent income 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 the operating results of Grace’s current business base from the income and expenses of items related to asbestos and Chapter 11.
(B): Grace’s segment operating income includes only Grace’s share of income from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
(C): Defined benefit pension expense includes all defined benefit pension expense of Grace. Grace Davison and Grace Construction Products segment operating income and corporate costs do not include amounts for defined benefit pension expense.
(D): Due to its bankruptcy, Grace has had significant intercompany loans between its non-U.S. subsidiaries and
15
its U.S. debtor subsidiaries that are not related to its operating activities. In addition, Grace has accumulated significant cash during its bankruptcy. The intercompany loans are expected to be paid when Grace emerges from bankruptcy, and excess cash balances are expected to be used to fund a significant portion of Grace’s emergence from bankruptcy. Accordingly, income and expense items related to the intercompany loans and the cash balances are categorized as Chapter 11- and asbestos- related costs, net.
