Forward - looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “may,” “intends,” “plans” or “anticipates,” or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions, including statements regarding raw material price environment; butadiene prices; expectations regarding future spreads between FIFO and ECRC, and statements regarding selected 2013 P&L estimates. All forward - looking statements in this presentation are made based on management's current expectations and estimates, which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward - looking statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” therein, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, but are not limited to, risks related to: conditions in the global economy and capital markets; declines in raw material costs; limitations in the availability of raw materials we need to produce our products in the amounts or at the prices necessary for us to effectively and profitably operate our business; competition in our end - use markets, from other producers of SBCs and from producers of products that can be substituted for our products; our investment in the joint venture with FPCC; and other risks, factors and uncertainties described in this press release and our other reports and documents; and other factors of which we are currently unaware or deem immaterial.

KRATON Second Quarter 2013 Earnings Call GAAP Disclaimer This presentation includes the use of both GAAP and non - GAAP financial measures. The non - GAAP financial measures are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA at ECRC, Gross Profit at ECRC and Adjusted Net Income (or earnings per share). A table included in t his presentation reconciles each of these non - GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure . For additional information on the impact of the spread between the FIFO basis of accounting and ECRC, see Management’s Discussion an d Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Quarterly Report on Form 10 - Q for the quarter ended June 30, 20 13. We consider these non - GAAP financial measures important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance and/or that of other comp ani es in our industry, including period - to - period comparisons. Further, management uses these measures to evaluate operating performance, an d our executive compensation plan bases incentive compensation payments on our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA at ECRC performanc e, along with other factors. These non - GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and in some cases can vary substantially from other measu res of our performance. You should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results under GAAP in the Un ite d States. For EBIDTA, these limitations include: EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expendi tur es or contractual commitments; EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; EBITDA does no t reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; alt hough depreciation and amortization are non - cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; EBITDA calculations under the terms of our d ebt agreements may vary from EBITDA presented herein, and our presentation of EBITDA herein is not for purposes of assessing comp lia nce or non - compliance with financial covenants under our debt agreements; and other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA diff erently from how we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all t he limitations applicable to EBITDA. In addition, we prepare Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA to eliminate the impact of a number of item s w e do not consider indicative of our on - going performance, but you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our futur e r esults will be unaffected by unusual or non - recurring items. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA at ECRC is subject to all the limitatio ns applicable to EBITDA, as well as the following limitations: due to volatility in raw material prices, Adjusted EBITDA at ECRC may, and o fte n does, vary substantially from EBITDA and other performance measures, including net income calculated in accordance with GAAP; and Adjus ted EBITDA at ECRC may, and often will, vary significantly from EBITDA calculations under the terms of our debt agreements and sh oul d not be used for assessing compliance or non - compliance with financial covenants under our credit agreement. Because of these and other limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and ECRC Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash ava ila ble to us to invest in the growth of our business. As a measure of our performance, Gross Profit at ECRC is limited because it often v ari es substantially from gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP due to volatility in raw material prices. Finally, we pre par e Adjusted Net Income by adjusting net income to eliminate the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our on - going performance, but you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation . Our presentation of Adjusted Net Income should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unu sua l or non - recurring items. 3

KRATON Second Quarter 2013 Earnings Call Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Kraton to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA at ECRC 1. Reflects the storm related charge at our Belpre, Ohio facility. 2. Includes charges related to severance expense and charges associated with evaluation of acquisition transactions. 3. Adjusted EBITDA at estimated current replacement cost (ECRC) is Adjusted EBITDA net of the impact of the spread between the FIFO basis of accounting and ECRC. Although we report our financial results using the FIFO basis of accounting, as part of our pricing strategy, we measure our business per for mance using the estimated current replacement cost of our inventory and cost of goods sold.

Therefore, we provide the spread between FIFO and ECRC, and we present Adjusted EBITDA at ECRC as another supp lem ental measure of our performance. We believe this additional adjustment provides helpful information to investors, securities analysts and other interested partie s in evaluating period - over - period comparisons of our performance. $ in Thousands 15 Three months ended Three months ended Three months ended 6/30/2013 3/31/2013 6/30/2012 Net income (loss) attributable to Kraton $ 3,829 $ (3,748) $ 12,407 Net income ( loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest 148 (76) - Consolidated net income (loss) 3,977 (3,824) 12,407 Add: Interest expense, net 5,909 13,298 7,773 Income tax expense 905 1,446 3,269 Depreciation and amortization expenses 15,741 15,098 15,885 EBITDA $ 26,532 $ 26,018 $ 39,334 EBITDA $ 26,532 $ 26,018 $ 39,334 Add ( deduct): Storm related charges (1) - - 2,817 Restructuring and other charges (2) 1,124 136 1,006 Non - cash compensation expense 2,007 2,523 1,857 Adjusted EBITDA $ 29,663 $ 28,677 $ 45,014 Add: Spread between FIFO and ECRC $ 2,304 $ 507 $ (13,966) Adjusted EBITDA at ECRC (3) $ 31,967 $ 29,184 $ 31,048

Although we report our financial results using the FIFO basis of accounting, as part of our pricing strategy, we measure our business performance using the estimated cur rent replacement cost of our inventory and cost of goods sold. In addition, volatility in the cost of raw materials affects our results of operations and the period - over - period comparability of our results of operations. Therefore, we provide Gross Profit at ECRC as another supplemental measure of our performance. We believe this adjustment provides helpful information to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in the evaluating period - over - period comparisons of our performance.
