“Our Vision 2010 strategy, which is intended to accelerate shareholder value through strong, profitable growth, is showing positive results,” Gupta added. “In 2007, we were able to deliver earnings within our expectations, despite steady deterioration in the U.S. building and construction markets; significantly higher than anticipated raw material, energy and freight costs; and the disappointing operating performance of our Houston monomer plant. We delivered robust growth in Rapidly Developing Economies across all chemical businesses and saw record performance from the Electronic Materials Group.”
Commenting on 2008, Gupta stated, “Although there is increasing uncertainty around the 2008 macroeconomic outlook, we continue to expect to deliver sales of approximately $10 billion for the year, with earnings per share in the $3.80 to $4.00 range, before any potential new M&A or restructuring. Our leading-edge technologies in Electronics, growing presence in Rapidly Developing Economies and strong market positions in our niche businesses should enable us to weather the challenges ahead.”

- 2 -
the Electronic Materials Group were a record $484 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, up 23 percent over the same period in 2006.
Earnings for this Group were $81 million, a new quarterly record, up 27 percent from 2006, reflecting strong demand growth.
Electronic Technologies
The Electronic Technologies segment is comprised of the company’sSemiconductor Technologies, Circuit Board TechnologiesandPackaging and Finishing Technologiesunits. Record sales for the segment of $454 million were up 16 percent versus the fourth quarter of 2006, resulting from strong semiconductor production in Asia. Sales in the fourth quarter excluding precious metals pass-through sales were also up 16 percent.
| • | | Semiconductor Technologiessales rose 20 percent, driven by robust demand, particularly in the Asia Pacific Region. |
| • | | Circuit Board Technologiessales grew 11 percent as compared to the same period last year, with solid growth in Asia more than offsetting soft conditions in North America and Europe. |
| • | | Packaging and Finishing Technologiessales rose 10 percent over the fourth quarter of 2006, with process sales up 6 percent, driven by strong demand in the Asia Pacific and North America Regions. |
Earnings for this segment of $88 million were up 38 percent from 2006.
Display Technologies
In June 2007, the company acquired the assets of Eastman Kodak Company’s Light Management Films technology business, which produces advanced films that improve the brightness and efficiency of liquid crystal displays (LCD). On November 30, 2007, the company completed the formation of SKC Haas Display Films, a joint venture with SKC, Inc., of South Korea for the development, manufacture and marketing of advanced optical and functional films used in the flat-panel display industry. These new businesses, along with process-related materials also used in the flat panel display industry previously included as part of theSemiconductor Technologiesunit, form the reportable segment now referred to as Display Technologies.
Display Technologies sales of $30 million reflect the December results of the SKC Haas JV referred to above, as well as sales of products from the business acquired from Eastman Kodak and existing Rohm and Haas products. This segment reported a net loss of $7 million in the quarter, in line with the company’s forecast.
Specialty Materials Group
The Specialty Materials Group comprises three business units and represents the majority of the company’s chemical business, serving a broad range of end-use markets. Net sales for this Group were up 7 percent.
Earnings for this Group were $89 million, down 19 percent from 2006, largely resulting from high raw material, energy and freight costs, and steady deterioration in the U.S.

building and construction markets, partially offset by favorable currencies and strong results from Rapidly Developing Economies.
The results for Specialty Materials are reported under the three separate reportable segments as follows:
Paint and Coatings Materials
Sales for the Paint and Coatings Materials business were $468 million, an increase of 7 percent over the same period in 2006. Volumes in the U.S. for this business declined 2 percent in the fourth quarter compared with the prior-year period, reflecting weaker demand in housing-related markets. Demand in Europe slowed while Rapidly Developing Economies showed strong growth.
Earnings of $45 million in 2007 were down 6 percent, reflecting weaker U.S. building and construction markets and higher raw material, energy and freight costs, offset by favorable currencies as well as increased demand in the Asia Pacific and Latin America Regions.
Packaging and Building Materials
Packaging and Building Materials sales in the quarter were $453 million, up 7 percent over the same quarter in 2006, driven by favorable currencies and increased demand in Rapidly Developing Economies, partially offset by construction-related weakness in Western markets.
Earnings of $27 million were flat to the prior-year period, with favorable currencies offset by higher raw material costs. The benefit of strong demand in Rapidly Developing Economies largely offset weakness in North America and Europe.
Primary Materials
Primary Materials sales were $494 million, an increase of 4 percent over the same period in 2006. Primary Materials results include sales to our internal downstream monomer-consuming businesses, along with sales to third-party customers of Monomers, Dispersants and Industrial and Household Polymers. Third-party sales increased 5 percent over the same period last year, primarily due to favorable currencies. Captive sales were up 3 percent on higher transfer prices to reflect higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower captive volumes.
Earnings of $17 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased $18 million versus the prior-year period, primarily driven by higher raw material, energy and freight costs and lagging selling-price increases.
Performance Materials Group
Sales for the Performance Materials Group were $323 million in the quarter, up 8 percent over the same period last year.
- 4 -
Process Chemicals and Biocidessales were up 11 percent over the same period last year, driven by generally strong demand across all products and regions, and favorable currencies.
Powder Coatingssales were up 1 percent compared to the same period in 2006, with lower demand offset by the favorable impact of currencies and higher pricing.
Earnings for the Performance Materials Group of $36 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 were up 57 percent versus the prior-year period, reflecting favorable currencies and higher selling prices.
Salt
Salt sales of $364 million were up 57 percent compared to the same period a year ago, driven by increased demand, as well as improved product mix and pricing management. Sales for ice-control use represented approximately 80 percent of the sales growth versus the prior-year period, with continued strong sales growth in non-ice applications.
Earnings for the Salt business in the quarter were $42 million, up $26 million versus the same period a year ago, the result of increased demand as well as improved product mix and pricing management. Favorable weather conditions resulting in above average demand for ice control salt contributed approximately $13 million of this increase in earnings.
Corporate
Corporate expense of $68 million was up from $46 million in the prior-year period. The increase year-on-year was primarily due to higher interest expense related to the recently issued debt used to fund the company’s accelerated share repurchase agreement executed in the third quarter of 2007. The prior-year expense included approximately $6 million in favorable one-time items.
REGIONAL PERFORMANCE
North American sales of $1,117 million were up 12 percent from the prior-year period, reflecting strong seasonal performance for the Salt business, which offset weaker demand in the U.S. building and construction markets. Excluding Salt, sales in North America were down 1 percent. Sales in Europe of $550 million were up 8 percent over the fourth quarter of 2006, led by the favorable impact of currencies and strong growth in the Rapidly Developing Economies of Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and Turkey. Asia Pacific sales of $565 million were up 32 percent over the same period in 2006, surpassing sales in Europe for the first time, largely driven by strong demand across all businesses in the region. Latin America sales of $111 million were up 16 percent over the prior-year period resulting from strong demand. Sales in Rapidly Developing Economies (which include all countries in the company’s defined Latin America Region; Central and Eastern Europe and Turkey; and the Asia Pacific Region excluding Japan, Australia and New Zealand) were up 32 percent for the quarter, representing 25 percent of total company sales in the quarter and reflecting the success of the company’s growing presence in these markets.
- 5 -
INCOME STATEMENT
Gross profit of $640 million in the quarter was 6 percent higher than the same period in 2006, reflecting increased volumes and the favorable impact of currencies, partially offset by higher raw material, energy and freight costs.
Selling and administrative (S & A) expense was $298 million, up 5 percent over the same period last year, reflecting most notably the unfavorable impact of currencies.
Research and development expense of $83 million was up 6 percent from the same period last year, reflecting continued investments in the company’s growth platform.
Interest expense for the quarter was $43 million, up $22 million from the same period in 2006, attributable to the recent issuance of debt to fund the $1 billion accelerated share repurchase agreement executed in the third quarter of 2007 as well as higher interest rates.
Income tax expense was $38 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 17.1 percent, as compared to income tax expense of $42 million in the prior-year period, or an effective tax rate of 19.8 percent.

- 7 -
Gupta added, “Last year, we successfully implemented selling-price increases in the fourth quarter to help offset the rising costs of raw materials, energy and freight. Going forward, we intend to implement further actions to recover these costs.”
The company expects annual sales in the $10 billion range, an increase of approximately 12 percent versus the prior-year period, reflecting the impact of organic growth, acquisitions, pricing and currencies. The company expects that achieving this level of sales will deliver earnings per share from continuing operations in the $3.80 to $4.00 range before any potential new M&A or restructuring, an 11% to 17% increase from the $3.41 achieved in 2007.
