LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. (August 1, 2017) – Air Products (NYSE: APD) today reported GAAP net income from continuing operations of $104 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $.47, down 58 and 59 percent, respectively, from the prior year, for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2017. These results include noncash impairment charges referenced below.
For the quarter, on a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income from continuing operations of $363 million was up 16 percent versus prior year, and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.65 was up 15 percent versus prior year.
Third quarter sales of $2,122 million increased 11 percent from the prior year, on eight percent higher volumes and five percent favorable energy pass-through, partially offset by two percent unfavorable currency. Volumes were positive across all three regions, while continued progress on the Jazan project was partially offset by lower LNG activity. Taken together, the Industrial Gas regions increased overall volumes by eight percent. Pricing was flat with the prior year.
For the quarter, on a GAAP basis, operating income of $253 million decreased 36 percent. Operating margin of 11.9 percent decreased 870 basis points versus prior year.
Adjusted operating income of $463 million increased 11 percent, and adjusted EBITDA of $722 million increased seven percent over the prior year. Adjusted operating margin of 21.8 percent was unchanged versus prior year, as unfavorable energy pass-through of 90 basis points was offset by favorable volumes. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 34.0 percent decreased 120 basis points from the prior year and was negatively impacted by 150 basis points from higher energy pass-through; excluding this impact, this margin increased 30 basis points. ROCE based on GAAP items of nine percent decreased 180 basis points from the prior year. Adjusted ROCE increased 10 basis points over prior year to 12.2 percent.
Commenting on the results for the quarter, Seifi Ghasemi, chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, "Once again, the committed and motivated team at Air Products delivered strong results. We had another quarter of excellent improvement in our safety performance. Adjusted EPS increased 15 percent over prior year, which is the 13th consecutive quarter of adjusted EPS growth, and

we generated a significant amount of cash flow. In addition, our customers awarded us significant new orders, and we successfully started up our very large hydrogen plant in India and another very large oxygen plant in China."
Third Quarter Results by Business Segment
| • | Industrial Gases – Americas sales of $930 million increased 12 percent versus prior year on three percent higher volumes and nine percent higher energy pass-through. Operating income of $236 million increased one percent. Adjusted EBITDA of $367 million increased one percent, as the contribution of the higher volumes and productivity actions were partially offset by outage-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 39.5 percent decreased 400 basis points from the prior year, primarily due to higher energy pass-through; excluding energy pass-through, adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 70 basis points. |
| • | Industrial Gases – EMEA sales of $452 million increased five percent versus last year, as six percent higher volumes and four percent higher energy pass-through were partially offset by four percent unfavorable currency and one percent lower pricing. The higher volumes were driven by the new hydrogen facility in India coming onstream. Operating income of $94 million decreased by 10 percent. Adjusted EBITDA of $155 million decreased three percent from the prior year, as productivity actions and higher equity affiliate income were offset by lower equipment sales and a negative impact from price versus variable cost; on a constant currency basis, adjusted EBITDA would have been up slightly. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 34.3 percent decreased 310 basis points from the prior year, with higher energy pass-through accounting for 140 basis points. Excluding this impact, adjusted EBITDA margin was down 170 basis points, approximately evenly impacted by lower equipment sales and price versus variable cost. |
| • | Industrial Gases – Asia sales of $538 million increased 20 percent versus prior year, with volumes up 20 percent. About half of the volume growth was from equipment sale projects, and the remainder was evenly split between new project onstreams and base business growth. Higher pricing contributed two percent, as merchant pricing improved across Asia, including China. Operating income of $149 million increased 26 percent. Adjusted EBITDA of $211 million increased 15 percent, driven by the higher volumes and the higher pricing, partially offset by lower equity affiliate income and higher costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 39.2 percent declined 160 basis points. |
Non-GAAP results for the Company in the fiscal third quarter of 2017 exclude pre-tax expenses of $162.1 million, or $0.70 per share, for a noncash goodwill impairment charge on the Latin America business; $79.5 million, or $0.36 per share, for an impairment charge on an equity investment in Abdullah Hashim Industrial Gases; $42.7 million, or $0.14 per share, for cost reduction and asset actions; and $5.5 million, or $0.02 per share, for pension settlement costs. Non-GAAP results also exclude $8.2 million, or $0.04 per share, of tax benefits related to changes in tax positions on business separation activities. See reconciliation of non-GAAP measures starting on page four.
Outlook
Ghasemi said, “We continue to be optimistic about the future performance of Air Products. We see significant opportunities to use our very strong balance sheet to invest in our core business and create value for our shareholders. We have increased our full-year guidance by $0.10 at midpoint, now representing a 10 percent increase over prior year. Our great team of hardworking, dedicated, talented and motivated employees remain focused on being the safest and most profitable industrial gas company in the world, providing excellent service to our customers.”
Air Products increased fiscal 2017 adjusted EPS to $6.20 to $6.25, which at midpoint, is up $0.10 from prior guidance and represents an increase of 10 percent over last year. For the fiscal 2017 fourth quarter, Air Products expects adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $1.65 to $1.70 per share, which at midpoint, represents an increase of 12 percent over last year.
The capital expenditure forecast for fiscal year 2017 is approximately $1 billion on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.
Management has provided adjusted EPS guidance on a continuing operations basis. While it is likely that we will incur additional costs for items such as cost reduction actions and pension settlements in future periods, it is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to identify the amount or significance of these events or the potential for other transactions that may impact future GAAP EPS. Management does not believe these items to be representative of underlying business performance. Accordingly, management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, the Company’s forecasted range of adjusted EPS to a comparable GAAP range.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Millions of dollars unless otherwise indicated, except for share data)
The Company has presented certain financial measures on a non-GAAP (“adjusted”) basis and has provided a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors, potential investors, securities analysts, and others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the business because such measures, when viewed together with our financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our historical financial performance and projected future results.
In many cases, our non-GAAP measures are determined by adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to exclude certain disclosed items (“non-GAAP adjustments”) that we believe are not representative of the underlying business performance. For example, Air Products has executed its strategic plan to restructure the Company and, as part of this plan, is now focusing on the Company’s core Industrial Gases businesses, which will continue to result in significant cost reduction and asset actions that we believe are important for investors to understand separately from the performance of the underlying business. The tax impact of our non-GAAP adjustments reflects the expected current and deferred income tax expense impact of the transactions and is impacted primarily by the statutory tax rate of the various relevant jurisdictions and the taxability of the adjustments in those jurisdictions. In evaluating these financial measures, the reader should be aware that we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation in the future. Investors should also consider the limitations associated with these non-GAAP measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another.

ADJUSTED EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations (including noncontrolling interests) excluding certain disclosed items, which the Company does not believe to be indicative of underlying business trends, before interest expense, other non‑operating income (expense), net, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful metric for management to assess operating performance.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
We utilize a non-GAAP measure in the computation of capital expenditures and include spending associated with facilities accounted for as capital leases. Certain contracts associated with facilities that are built to provide product to a specific customer are required to be accounted for as leases, and such spending is reflected as a use of cash within cash provided by operating activities if the arrangement qualifies as a capital lease.
Below is a reconciliation of capital expenditures on a GAAP basis to a non-GAAP measure:

RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED (ROCE)
Return on capital employed (ROCE) is calculated on a continuing operations basis as earnings after-tax divided by five-quarter average total capital. Earnings after-tax is calculated based on trailing four quarters and is defined as the sum of net income from continuing operations attributable to Air Products, interest expense, after-tax, at our effective quarterly tax rate, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. This non-GAAP measure has been adjusted for the impact of the disclosed items detailed below. Total capital consists of total debt, total equity, and redeemable noncontrolling interest less noncontrolling interests and total assets of discontinued operations.

OUTLOOK
Guidance provided is on a non-GAAP continuing operations basis, which excludes the impact of certain items that we believe are not representative of our underlying business performance. It is likely that we will incur additional costs for items such as cost reduction and asset actions and pension settlements in future periods. However, it is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to identify the amount or significance of these events or the potential for other transactions that may impact future GAAP EPS. Accordingly, management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, the Company’s forecasted range of adjusted EPS on a continuing operations basis to a comparable GAAP range.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
1. MATERIALS TECHNOLOGIES SEPARATION
On 16 September 2015, the Company announced plans to separate its Materials Technologies segment, which contained two divisions, the Electronic Materials Division (EMD) and the Performance Materials Division (PMD). On 1 October 2016, the Company completed the spin-off of EMD as Versum Materials, Inc., or Versum, an independent publicly traded company. On 3 January 2017, the Company completed the sale of PMD to Evonik Industries AG for $3.8 billion in cash subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including working capital. A gain of $2,870 ($1,833 after-tax, or $8.34 per share) was recognized on the sale in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017. A portion of the proceeds from the sale have been included in "Short-term investments" on the consolidated balance sheets. Associated interest income has been reflected on the consolidated income statements as “Other non-operating income (expense), net." As a result of these transactions, both EMD and PMD are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
For the nine months ended 30 June 2017, we incurred separation costs of $30.2 ($26.5 after-tax, or $.12 per share), primarily related to legal and advisory costs associated with these transactions. No business separation costs were incurred during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. The costs are reflected on the consolidated income statements as “Business separation costs.” In addition, our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended 30 June 2017 includes net tax benefits of $8.2 related to changes in tax positions on business separation activities.
The results of the Corporate and other segment include stranded costs related to the presentation of EMD and PMD as discontinued operations. The majority of these costs are reimbursed to Air Products pursuant to short-term transition services agreements under which Air Products will provide transition services to Versum for EMD and to Evonik for PMD. The reimbursement has been reflected on the consolidated income statements within “Other income (expense), net.”
2. COST REDUCTION AND ASSET ACTIONS
For the three months ended 30 June 2017, we recognized an expense of $42.7 ($30.0 attributable to Air Products, after-tax, or $.14 per share) for cost reduction and asset actions. Severance and other benefits totaled $9.5. Asset actions of $33.2 primarily includes charges resulting from the planned sale of a non-industrial gas hardgoods business in the Industrial Gases - Americas segment and for the closure of a facility in the Corporate and other segment that manufactured LNG heat exchangers. For the nine months ended 30 June 2017, we recognized a net expense of $103.0 ($78.4 attributable to Air Products, after-tax, or $.36 per share). This expense included $45.7 from the first quarter write-down of an air separation unit in the Industrial Gases – EMEA segment that was constructed mainly to provide oxygen to one of the Energy-from-Waste plants and expense for severance and other benefits.
3. PENSION SETTLEMENT
Certain of our pension plans provide for a lump sum benefit payment option at the time of retirement, or for corporate officers, six months after their retirement date. A participant's vested benefit is considered settled upon cash payment of the lump sum. We recognize pension settlement losses when cash payments exceed the sum of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost of the plan for the fiscal year. For the three and nine months ended 30 June 2017, we recognized pension settlement losses of $5.5 ($3.4 after-tax, or $.02 per share) and $9.6 ($6.0 after-tax, or $.03 per share), respectively, to accelerate recognition of a portion of actuarial losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss, primarily associated with the U.S. Supplementary Pension Plan. We expect that additional settlement losses will be recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017.
4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGE
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, we determined that the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily acquired trade names) associated with our Latin America reporting unit of our Industrial Gases – Americas segment were impaired. We recorded a noncash impairment charge of $162.1 ($154.1 attributable to Air Products, after-tax, or $.70 per share), which was driven by lower economic growth and profitability in the region. This charge was not deductible for tax purposes and has been excluded from segment operating income.

5. EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT IMPAIRMENT CHARGE
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, we determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment in Abdullah Hashim Industrial Gases & Equipment Co., Ltd. (AHG), a 25%-owned equity affiliate in our Industrial Gases – EMEA segment. We recorded a noncash impairment charge of $79.5 ($.36 per share) to reduce the carrying value of our investment. This charge was not deductible for tax purposes and has been excluded from segment operating income. The decline in value results from expectations for lower future cash flows to be generated by AHG, primarily due to challenging economic conditions in Saudi Arabia, increased competition, and capital project growth opportunities not materializing as once anticipated.
6. ENERGY-FROM-WASTE
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s exit of its Energy-from-Waste (EfW) business. As a result, efforts to start up and operate its two EfW projects located in Tees Valley, United Kingdom, had been discontinued and a loss on disposal of $945.7 ($846.6 after-tax) was recorded to write down plant assets to their estimated net realizable value and record a liability for plant disposition and other costs.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, we determined that it is unlikely for a buyer to assume the remaining assets and contract obligations, including land lease obligations. As a result, we recorded an additional loss of $59.3 ($47.1 after-tax) in results of discontinued operations, of which $53.0 was recorded primarily for land lease obligations and $6.3 was recorded to update our estimate of the net realizable value of the plant assets as of 31 December 2016. There have been no changes to our estimates during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017.
7. NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payments, including the income tax impacts, the classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures. We elected to early adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in the income statement rather than in additional paid-in capital on the balance sheet. As a result of applying this change prospectively, we recognized $3.5 and $13.2 of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes during the three and nine months ended 30 June 2017, respectively.
