2 Forward Looking Statement During the course of this meeting we may make forward-looking statements. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future are forward-looking statements. Some of these statements include words such as “expects”, “anticipates,” “plans,” “intends,” “projects,” and “outlook.” Although they reflect our current expectations, these statements are not guarantees of future performance because they involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Included in this presentation are estimates for full year 2011 sales and earnings. These were included in our April 21, 2011 press release, which was also furnished as an exhibit to a current report on Form 8-K. These estimates set forth the Company’s assumptions and management’s best estimate of the full year 2011 sales and earnings at that time based on various assumptions set forth in the press release. There can be no assurance that sales or earnings will develop in the manner then projected or that the results for the year will be consistent with the results then projected. Actual results may differ materially. We recommend that you review Cytec’s SEC filings for a discussion of some of the factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from its expectations and projections. This and other Cytec information may be accessed at www.cytec.com. In sections of this presentation certain “non-GAAP” measures are provided and identified as such. We believe that the “non-GAAP” measures can more accurately reflect comparisons of year to year trends and is consistent with how we review the information. A reconciliation of “non-GAAP” measures to the applicable GAAP measure is provided in the appendix at the end of this presentation. |
