MacDermid, Incorporated, a worldwide manufacturer of proprietary specialty
chemical products and equipment for the electronics, metal finishing and graphic
arts industries, headquartered in Waterbury, Connecticut, today reported results
for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. The results reflect the merger with
Polyfibron Technologies, Inc. ("PTI") on December 27, 1999, which has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests.
*Pooling of interests accounting requires us to present the financial
information as if the companies had been merged in both the current period and
the comparable period. We do not believe this presentation to be useful in
comparing our results. Therefore we have chosen to present our "management
reports" which compare the businesses and operations as if pooling had not
occurred. We are presenting prior periods as they were reported at that time.
Current periods remain the same under either approach.
Earnings per share of $0.40 before one time charges of $0.01, are significantly
below last quarter's $0.47 (including accretion of $0.07 per share from PTI)
excluding one time charges, and equal to the same quarter last year as reported
at that time. Of the shortfall, $0.10 per share in the quarter is attributed to
three primary factors: poor results in the North American Advanced Surface
Finishing group, continuing costs related to the start up of the newest Via Tek
facility, and a ramp down of an equipment contract with a major customer. The
North American shortfall was due to factory integration issues related to the W.
Canning acquisition, continuing price erosion in Electronics, and the shift to
an alternate material by a major customer that does not require MacDermid
technology. The newest ViaTek installation experienced costs related to the
ramp up to full volume production as expected; MacDermid now believes all
technical issues have been resolved and profitability will begin in the second
half of FY01.
Daniel H. Leever, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "As previously
announced we are disappointed to be breaking our trend of record quarters. We
are confident we will improve earnings per share next quarter and throughout the
rest of FY01. We have undertaken several initiatives to reduce cost and insure
the factory integration cost increases do not reoccur; these initiatives are
expected to amount to $0.04 per share per quarter. Whereas we are optimistic
about our prospects, especially in Asia and Europe. We are concerned about
currency exchange rates in Europe and continuing challenges in North America.
MacDermid Graphic Arts produced operating profits for the quarter of over $14
million, ahead of expectations. Had PTI been combined with MacDermid Graphic
Arts in the prior quarter of the previous year, then revenues for the quarter
would have been up 5% to about $70 million and operating profit would have
increased 15.6%. We are confident about the prospects for this increasingly
important part of MacDermid. As evidence of our commitment to Graphic Arts we
announced an agreement to acquire ColorSpan, a digital printing company that we
believe will further add to our technology and product leadership."

This report and other Corporation reports and statements describe many of the
positive factors affecting the Corporation's future business prospects.
Investors should also be aware of factors which could have a negative impact on
those prospects. These include political, economic or other conditions such as
currency exchange rates, inflation rates, recessionary or expansive trends,
taxes and regulations and laws affecting the business; competitive products,
advertising, promotional and pricing activity; the degree of acceptance of new
product introductions in the marketplace; technical difficulties which may arise
with new product introductions; and the difficulty of forecasting sales.
