We are very excited about delivering continued success in 2022 and in the coming years."
Segment Results 4Q 2021 versus 4Q 2020
Advanced Materials – Sales revenue increased 15 percent due to 8 percent higher sales volume/mix and 7 percent higher selling prices. Higher sales volume/mix was due to continued momentum with innovation and market development as well as strong end-market demand for specialty plastics. Higher selling prices were primarily due to double-digit price increases in specialty plastics resulting from higher raw material, energy, and distribution prices.
EBIT declined due to lower spreads as higher selling prices were catching up to higher raw material, energy, and distribution costs as well as higher manufacturing maintenance costs and continued investments in growth. This was partially offset by a significant improvement in product mix.
Additives & Functional Products – Sales revenue increased 17 percent due to 18 percent higher selling prices. Prices were up double digits across all product lines, led by coatings additives, due to higher raw material, energy, and distribution prices, and strong end-market demand. Sales volume/mix was flat as gains in key end markets, including building and construction, feed additives, and aviation fluids, were offset by the impact of the divested tire additives product lines.
EBIT declined due to lower spreads as higher selling prices were catching up to higher raw material, energy, and distribution costs, and the impact of divested tire additives product lines.
Fibers – Sales revenue increased 14 percent due to 13 percent higher sales volume/mix. The higher sales volume/mix was due to strong growth in textiles products resulting from innovation and market development and the recovery of textiles end markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
EBIT decreased due to higher sales volume being more than offset by higher raw material, energy, and distribution costs combined with limited near-term pricing flexibility in acetate tow agreements and continued investment in growth.
Chemical Intermediates – Sales revenue increased 46 percent due to 47 percent higher selling prices as raw material, energy, and distribution prices remained elevated. Improved product mix, due to increased sales of functional amines in the agricultural end market and specialty plasticizers, was offset by lower sales volume due to the closure of our Singapore manufacturing facility.
EBIT increased due to higher spreads as selling prices more than offset higher raw material, energy, and distribution costs. Higher manufacturing maintenance costs negatively impacted EBIT.
Corporate Results 2021 versus 2020
Sales revenue increased 24 percent with increases across all operating segments. The strong topline growth was due to 15 percent higher selling prices and 8 percent higher sales volume/mix. Higher selling prices were due to significantly higher raw material, energy, and distribution prices, and strong end-market demand as the global economy recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher sales volume/mix was due to innovation and market development and strong end-market demand.
EBIT increased due to more favorable product mix resulting from increased sales of specialty products and higher sales volume, partially offset by higher manufacturing maintenance costs and continued investment in growth.
Segment Results 2021 versus 2020
Advanced Materials – Sales revenue increased 20 percent primarily due to 16 percent higher sales volume/mix. Strong volume growth and more favorable product mix were due to continued momentum with innovation and market development as well as strengthened demand for specialty plastics products sold into durable goods, medical, and electronics end markets, and for advanced interlayers and performance films products sold into transportation end markets.
EBIT increased due to more favorable product mix and higher sales volume, partially offset by lower spreads as higher selling prices were catching up to higher raw material, energy, and distribution costs. Higher manufacturing maintenance costs and continued investment in growth unfavorably impacted EBIT.
Additives & Functional Products – Sales revenue increased 22 percent due to 12 percent higher selling prices and 9 percent higher sales volume/mix. Higher selling prices across the segment were primarily due to higher raw material, energy, and distribution prices. Higher sales volume/mix was led by double-digit gains in coatings additives and specialty fluids due to strengthened demand and improved market conditions for products sold in transportation, building & construction, and durable goods end markets.
Adjusted EBIT increased due to more favorable product mix and higher sales volume, partially offset by lower spreads as higher selling prices were catching up to higher raw material, energy, and distribution costs. Higher manufacturing maintenance costs and continued investment in growth unfavorably impacted EBIT.
Fibers – Sales revenue increased 8 percent due to 7 percent higher sales volume/mix led by strong growth for textiles products due to innovation and market development and continued recovery of the textiles end market.
EBIT decreased due to higher sales volume being more than offset by higher raw material, energy, and distribution costs combined with limited near-term pricing flexibility in acetate tow agreements. Higher manufacturing maintenance costs and continued investment in growth unfavorably impacted EBIT.
Chemical Intermediates – Sales revenue increased 36 percent due to 38 percent higher selling prices as raw material, energy, and distribution prices were significantly higher and commodity markets remained tight. Improved product mix, due to increased sales of functional amines in the agricultural end market and specialty plasticizers, was offset by lower sales volume due to the closure of our Singapore manufacturing facility.
EBIT increased significantly due to higher spreads and more favorable product mix partially offset by higher operating costs.
Cash Flow
In 2021, cash from operating activities was $1.6 billion. Proceeds from the sale of certain tire additives product lines were $667 million. Capital expenditures were $555 million. The company returned $1.4 billion to stockholders in 2021 through dividends and share repurchases using cash sourced from operating cash flow and proceeds from divested businesses. In 2021, the company repaid $350 million of debt.
Priorities for uses of available cash for 2022 include organic growth investments, payment of the quarterly dividend, bolt-on acquisitions, and share repurchases.
2022 Outlook
Commenting on the outlook for full-year 2022, Costa said: "We enter 2022 having delivered record full-year 2021 sales revenue and adjusted EPS reflecting the strength of our innovation-driven growth model. Our specialty product lines are growing faster than our end markets, as we generated approximately $600 million of new business revenue last year, which will drive significant growth in 2022. In addition, we continued to make progress improving our portfolio. We achieved these results despite a number of headwinds, including the continued impact of COVID-19, unprecedented logistics and supply chain challenges, and inflation, including higher raw material and energy costs.
"As we look forward, we expect market demand to remain strong and continue growing faster than our end markets due to our innovation and market development initiatives. The pricing actions that we took in the second half of last year are expected to deliver a strong spread tailwind in the specialty businesses. We also expect to benefit from a substantially lower cost structure as we continue to implement our operations transformation program and have substantially lower manufacturing maintenance costs. Our strong cash generation and the proceeds from the divestitures are expected to enable increased organic growth investment and higher share repurchases. These strong tailwinds are expected to more than offset the approximately $100 million EBIT impact from the divested businesses and normalization of margins in Chemical Intermediates. Building on our strong results in 2021, we expect 2022 revenue to be higher than 2021 and for adjusted EPS to be between $9.50 and $10. We also expect operating cash flow to be greater than $1.6 billion."
The full-year 2022 projected earnings exclude any non-core, unusual, or nonrecurring items. Our financial results forecasts do not include non-core items (such as mark-to-market pension and other postretirement benefit gain or loss and asset impairments and restructuring charges) or any unusual or non-recurring items, and we accordingly are unable to reconcile projected earnings excluding non-core and any unusual or non-recurring items to reported GAAP earnings without unreasonable efforts.
