MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis contained in the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following analysis of Eastman's operations compares 1996 results with 1995, a year in which the Company reported record sales and earnings. While 1996 results show overall decreases compared with 1995, the Company's net earnings for the first nine months annualized still produced a solid return on equity of 27 percent. EARNINGS (Dollars in millions, except THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS per share amounts) 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE Operating earnings $169 $ 260 (35)% $ 550 $ 753 (27)% Net earnings 96 148 (35) 320 438 (27) Net earnings per share 1.22 1.81 (33) 4.02 5.28 (24) THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE CHANGES IN EARNINGS PER SHARE Net earnings per share $1.22 $ 1.81 $ (.59) $4.02 $5.28 $(1.26) ======= ====== Operations Selling price $ (1.06) $(1.47) Volume and mix .17 .19 Raw materials, supplies, and energy costs .39 .07 Variable-incentive pay .16 .36 Pre-production and start-up costs (.20) (.34) Other (.16) (.33) ------- ------ Change from operations (.70) (1.52) Other Interest expense .02 .05 Other income/charges .04 - Effective tax rate change - .04 Lower average shares outstanding .05 .16 Rounding - .01 ------- ------ Total change $ (.59) $(1.26) ======= ====== The principal factor contributing to the 1996 earnings decline was lower selling prices for the Company's core plastics, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene. Decreased earnings also resulted from pre-production and start-up costs at new PET plants and higher labor costs. There were positive impacts on overall earnings per share from higher overall volumes, lower variable-incentive compensation, lower shares outstanding, and lower paraxylene and other raw material and energy costs. 7 8 SUMMARY BY INDUSTRY SEGMENT PERFORMANCE SEGMENT THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS (Dollars in millions) 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE Sales $862 $972 (11)% $2,763 $2,874 (4)% Operating earnings 113 179 (37) 404 518 (22) The first nine months Performance segment sales and operating earnings decreases were primarily attributable to lower PET selling prices and volumes, partially offset by improved selling prices and higher volumes for the Fibers business. The decreased PET volumes were principally a result of weak sales in the soft European market. Contributing to the lower operating earnings were increased pre-production and start-up costs for new manufacturing facilities. Other Performance segment businesses, specifically Specialty Plastics and Performance Chemicals, generally had a positive effect on third quarter sales and earnings. Looking forward, the capacity additions within the PET industry worldwide over the next 1-2 years are expected to result in continued downward pressure on PET selling prices. INDUSTRIAL SEGMENT THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS (Dollars in millions) 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE Sales $305 $294 4% $906 $945 (4)% Operating earnings 56 81 (31) 146 235 (38) The third quarter increase in the Industrial segment sales was due to volume increases, primarily related to capacity increases in acetaldehyde and propionic acid. Lower selling prices and higher feedstock costs contributed to lower operating earnings in this segment. For the first nine months, sales decreased due to lower selling prices for polyethylene, partially offset by increased volumes. Decreased first nine months Industrial segment operating earnings were primarily the result of higher feedstock costs and lower selling prices for polyethylene. (For supplemental analysis of Performance and Industrial segment business organization results, see Exhibit 99.01 to this Form 10-Q.) SUMMARY BY CUSTOMER LOCATION SALES BY REGION THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS (Dollars in millions) 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE United States and Canada $777 $834 (7)% $2,448 $2,555 (4)% Europe, Middle East, and Africa 171 212 (19)% 578 635 (9)% Asia Pacific 145 146 (1)% 417 428 (3)% Latin America 74 74 - 226 201 12 % Sales in the United States for third quarter 1996 were $731 million compared with 1995 third quarter sales of $780 million. For the first nine months of 1996, sales in the United States were $2.294 billion compared with $2.384 billion in 1995. Third quarter 1996 sales outside the United States were down 10% compared with 1995, primarily due to lower PET selling prices and volumes in Europe, and were 37% of total sales for third quarter 1996, compared with 38% for third quarter 1995. 8 9 SUMMARY OF CONSOLIDATED RESULTS THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS (Dollars in millions) 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE SALES $1,167 $1,266 (8)% $3,669 $3,819 (4)% Sales in the third quarter 1996 decreased 11% because of lower selling prices, offset 3% because of volume gains. For the first nine months, sales decreased 5% because of lower selling prices, offset 1% because of volume gains. THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS (Dollars in millions) 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE GROSS PROFIT $ 294 $ 408 (28)% $ 934 $1,152 (19)% As a percentage of sales 25.2% 32.2% 25.5% 30.2% The 1996 gross profit decline was principally attributable to lower selling prices and increased pre-production and start-up costs which were partially offset by lower variable-incentive compensation, lower purchased raw material costs, and increased volumes. THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS (Dollars in millions) 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE SELLING AND GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES $ 78 $102 (24)% $247 $271 (9)% As a percentage of sales 6.7% 8.1% 6.7% 7.1% The decrease in selling and general administrative expenses is attributable to developmental costs incurred in 1995 for the installation of a global integrated business information system that were not incurred in 1996. The Company invested significant resources in this new information system to better position itself for continued worldwide growth. Another factor resulting in the decreased selling and general administrative expenses was decreased variable-incentive compensation costs. THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS (Dollars in millions) 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE GROSS INTEREST EXPENSE $ 25 $ 22 $ 70 $ 66 LESS CAPITALIZED INTEREST 9 3 19 8 ------- ------- --------- --------- NET INTEREST EXPENSE $ 16 $ 19 (16)% $ 51 $ 58 (12)% ======= ======= ========= ========= THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS (Dollars in millions) 1996 1995 CHANGE 1996 1995 CHANGE OTHER (INCOME) CHARGES, NET $(3) $2 - % $(12) $(12) - % Other income and other charges include interest income, royalty income, gains and losses on asset sales, results from equity investments, foreign exchange transactions, and other items.

The cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 1996 reflects higher levels of commercial paper borrowings, primarily to meet cash needs for higher capital expenditures, share repurchases, and other cash flow needs. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Eastman anticipates that total capital expenditures will be approximately $750 million in 1996 and $850 million in 1997, primarily due to previously announced expansions in worldwide manufacturing capacity. Depreciation expense is expected to be approximately $321 million for 1996 and $331 million for 1997. During 1996, the Company announced plans to construct an isophthalic acid (IPA) plant in Kingsport, Tennessee; it is expected to be on-line by mid-1998. The Company announced a planned increase in polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) homopolymer capacity expected on-line in early 1997. In October, the Company announced that it will not participate in the proposed project with three other companies to build an olefins plant near Houston, Texas. In addition to expanding its Longview, Texas oxo aldehydes and derivatives plants, the Company announced plans for construction of new plant facilities in Singapore to produce oxo aldehydes and derivatives; production operations for Singapore are expected to begin in 1998. The Company announced plans to construct a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plant and a purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant at their South Carolina location; production is expected in early 1999. An additional PTA plant is planned to be built in Kingsport, Tennessee by late 1997. In July, the Company announced plans to double production capacity for general-purpose fine chemicals at the Peboc Division of Eastman Chemical (UK) Ltd. in Llangefni, Wales. The Company recently signed a letter of intent to study the feasibility of forming a joint venture in the People's Republic of China; consideration is being given to building two plants in Nanjing, China, one to produce hydrocarbon tackifying resins and the other to manufacture sorbates. LIQUIDITY Eastman has access to an $800 million revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") expiring in December 2000. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility are subject to interest at varying spreads above quoted market rates, principally LIBOR. The Credit Facility also requires a facility fee on the total commitment that varies based on Eastman's credit rating. The annual rate for such fee was 0.075% as of September 30, 1996. The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants and events of default, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Eastman was in compliance with all such covenants for all periods. 10 11 Eastman utilizes commercial paper, generally with maturities of 90 days or less, to meet its liquidity needs. The Company's commercial paper, supported by the Credit Facility, is classified as long-term borrowings because the Company has the ability and intent to refinance such borrowings long-term. During third quarter 1996, the average annual effective interest rate was 5.46% for commercial paper borrowings; as of September 30, 1996, the Company's commercial paper outstanding balance was $279 million. In 1995, the Company repurchased $200 million of Eastman common stock. In February 1996, the Company announced plans to repurchase up to $400 million of additional Eastman common shares. Repurchased shares may be used to meet common stock requirements for benefit plans and other corporate purposes. Repurchase of common shares is not expected to have an adverse impact on the liquidity of the Company. At September 30, 1996, the Company had acquired an additional 2,408,400 shares at a cost of $157 million, pursuant to its current repurchase program. Existing sources of capital, together with cash flows from operations, are expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's foreseeable cash flow requirements. Eastman has on file with the Securities Exchange Commission a shelf registration to issue up to an additional $300 million of debt securities. DIVIDENDS THIRD QUARTER FIRST NINE MONTHS 1996 1995 1996 1995 Cash dividends declared per share $.44 $.42 $1.28 $1.22 OUTLOOK Looking forward for the rest of 1996, the Company expects continued strong demand for Fibers business products, improved PET volumes, but lower PET prices than in third quarter 1996. Based on current and projected selling prices and raw material costs, overall downward pressure on fourth quarter margins is expected. It is now likely that earnings for the second half of 1996 will be less than earnings in the first half of the year. In 1997, the Company expects continued good demand for its products. It also expects to have the capability for 3-5% volume growth as the result of a new PET plant in Spain, a full year's effect of the new PET plant in Mexico, and incremental gains in capacity for fibers and various chemicals. In relation to PET, the Company expects no significant price improvement from current levels, modest volume growth, and negative earnings comparisons overall for 1997. For the rest of its businesses, the Company expects overall stable margins and operating costs. The above stated expectations, other forward-looking statements in this report, and other statements of the Company relating to matters such as planned capacity increases and capital spending, expected depreciation, future volume and price changes, demand, and margin and earnings expectations for individual products, businesses, and segments as well as for the whole of the Company, are based upon certain underlying assumptions. These assumptions are in turn based upon internal estimates and analyses of current market conditions and trends, management plans and strategies, economic conditions, and other factors and are subject to risks and uncertainties inherent in projecting future conditions and results. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon the following assumptions: relatively stable business conditions in the United States, improving business conditions in Europe, and continued growth in Latin America and Asia Pacific, supporting continued good overall demand for the Company's products; continued demand growth worldwide for PET; continued capacity additions within the PET industry worldwide; availability of scheduled Eastman capacity increases; stable to slightly lower pricing for Eastman products; overall stable to slightly lower purchase costs for key Eastman raw materials; productivity gains offsetting wage inflation; and continued progress on the current share repurchase program. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations if one or more of these assumptions prove to be inaccurate or are unrealized. 11 12 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company began operating as an independent publicly held company on January 1, 1994 as a result of its spin-off (the "Spin-Off") from Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak"). Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company operated as a wholly-owned business of Kodak. Since the Spin-Off, the Company has owned and operated substantially all of the worldwide chemical business it previously conducted as a part of Kodak. Prior to the Spin-Off, Kodak agreed to participate in the Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA") Section 8(e) Compliance Audit Program ("CAP"). As a participant, Kodak agreed to audit its files, including those of its chemical business, for materials which under then-current EPA guidelines would be subject to notification under Section 8(e) of TSCA and to pay stipulated penalties for each report submitted under the CAP. After the Spin-Off, the Company was added as a joint participant in Kodak's CAP. Under the terms of the EPA's Consent Order dated October 3, 1996 and the Consent Agreement among the EPA, Kodak, and the Company, Kodak and the Company were assessed a civil penalty of $1,000,000. Kodak and the Company have agreed that Kodak will pay the entire civil penalty to the EPA and that the Company will pay $250,000 to Kodak as reimbursement for the Company's agreed upon portion of the CAP penalty. The Company's operations are parties to or targets of lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, including product liability, patent, commercial, environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. No such pending matters, including the EPA CAP proceeding described in the preceding paragraph, are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
