Exhibit 99.1 Cytec Announces Second Quarter Results; Full Year Outlook Updated WEST PATERSON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 2005--Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE:CYT) announced today net earnings for the second quarter of 2005 of $11.9 million or $0.25 per diluted share on net sales of $813 million. Included in the quarter was a purchase accounting related charge of $10.3 million pre-tax (after-tax $7.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share) related to the February 28, 2005 acquisition of the Surface Specialties business, a pre-tax charge of $28.0 million (after-tax $17.7 million or $0.37 per diluted share) for interest rate derivative transactions associated with the Surface Specialties acquisition, a pre-tax charge of $2.4 million (after-tax $1.8 million or $0.04 per diluted share) for an anticipated settlement of a certain litigation matter, a pre-tax charge of $22.0 million (after-tax $14.0 million or $0.30 per diluted share) pertaining to the optional redemption of our Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities (MOPPRS) prior to their maturity and an income tax benefit of $9.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, reflecting the partial resolution of a tax audit in Norway with respect to prior year tax returns. Excluding these special items, net earnings were $43.3 million or $0.92 on a diluted share basis. Net earnings for the comparable period of 2004 were $31.2 million or $0.77 per diluted share, on net sales of $422 million. Included in the quarter was a pre-tax charge of $6.1 million (after-tax $4.8 million or $0.12 per diluted share) in connection with the settlement of several environmental and toxic tort lawsuits and $2.4 million or $0.06 per diluted share for a favorable outcome of a tax audit in Korea. Excluding these special items, net earnings for the second quarter of 2004 were $33.6 million or $0.83 per diluted share. David Lilley, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Overall, sales for the quarter were $813 million up 93% compared to the same quarter in 2004, due primarily to the acquisition of the Surface Specialties business. The integration of Surface Specialties into Cytec continues and is on schedule with the organizational part of the integration completed, and synergies on track at an expected annualized rate of $35 million." As a reminder, the segment results discussed below have been restated to reflect Cytec's new organization following the Surface Specialties acquisition. A recap of the reorganization is as follows: -- Cytec Performance Specialties - Includes the Water Treatment Chemicals, Mining Chemicals, Phosphine and Phosphorus Specialties, Polymer Additives and Specialty Additives product lines. -- Cytec Surface Specialties - Includes the acquired Surface Specialties product lines plus Cytec's previously existing Coating Chemicals and Performance Chemicals product lines. -- Cytec Specialty Materials is renamed Cytec Engineered Materials. -- Building Block Chemicals remains unchanged. Cytec Performance Specialties Sales increase 13%; Operating Earnings increase to $17 million Mr. Lilley continued, "In Cytec Performance Specialties, selling prices were up 6%, selling volumes increased 4% and exchange added 3% to sales. The selling price increases were across all product lines helping to compensate for much higher raw material and energy costs. Volumes were much improved in water treatment chemicals, mining chemicals and specialty additives where demand remained strong. However, the slowdown in industrial demand, principally in Europe and in Asia, experienced in the latter part of the first quarter continued, and this impacted polymer additives which experienced lower volumes. The increase in operating earnings of $6.0 million was primarily due to higher selling volumes and prices more than offsetting raw material cost increases. Cytec Surface Specialties Sales increase 430%; Operating Earnings increase to $14 million "The increase in Cytec Surface Specialties sales is principally due to the acquisition of the Surface Specialties business which accounts for almost all of the sales increase. Our Cytec heritage coating chemicals and performance chemicals product lines had increased selling prices of 2% and exchange rate changes added another 2%. Volumes were down 1% on the heritage business with the slowdown in demand experienced in the latter part of the first quarter continuing in both Europe and North America for most of the quarter. Asia demand showed some improvement in the latter part of the quarter. Similar trends were experienced in the acquired business. "Operating earnings include a charge of $10.3 million ($7.5 million after-tax or $0.16 per diluted share) relating to purchase accounting for finished goods inventory of the acquired business recorded at their fair value which exceeded normal manufacturing costs. We anticipate this to be the final charge related to the write-up of acquired inventory. Excluding this amount, operating earnings increased to $24.4 million reflecting the favorable impact of the acquisition. Cytec Engineered Materials Sales increase 10%; Operating Earnings decline slightly to $25 million "Cytec Engineered Materials sales volumes increased 8% and selling prices were up 2%. The volume increases were primarily due to large commercial aircraft and rotorcraft customers as the aircraft manufacturers increase their build rates. The favorable effect on operating earnings from the higher sales was offset by higher costs in our two European manufacturing sites plus higher selling and research costs as we increased our efforts to meet the numerous opportunities for the future. Building Block Chemicals Sales increase 44%; Operating Earnings increase to $7 million "In Building Block Chemicals, selling prices increased 19% which was below the increase in raw material costs. Propylene, the key raw material for acrylonitrile, started off in the quarter with very high purchase prices but those costs decreased starting in May. On average for the quarter, propylene costs were still up almost $0.06 per pound when compared to the prior year quarter. Selling volumes were up 24% primarily due to higher acrylonitrile volumes. In the second quarter of last year the plant was shut down for about a month for scheduled maintenance work resulting in reduced sales. Exchange rate changes increased sales 1%. "Operating earnings improved primarily due to the higher selling volumes." Earnings in Associated Companies James P. Cronin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer commented, "On May 31, 2005, we completed the sale of our 50% interest in CYRO Industries (CYRO) to our partner, Degussa, for cash consideration of $100 million subject to final working capital adjustments. The proceeds essentially covered the book value of our investment in CYRO. The net after tax proceeds were used to pay down debt related to our acquisition of Surface Specialties. Through the date of closing of the sale, CYRO's sales and earnings were up compared to the full quarter year ago period primarily due to increased volume and selling prices." Corporate and Unallocated Mr. Cronin added, "During the quarter, we recorded a pre-tax charge in administrative expense for $2.4 million ($1.8 million after-tax) related to an increase in our accrual for a certain litigation matter. The total accrual is based on the now anticipated probable settlement value of $2.7 million. Partially offsetting this was a reduction in expenses relating to the mark to market accounting for our stock based incentive compensation reflecting a decrease in our stock price in the quarter." Also, during the quarter the Company recorded a pre-tax loss in other income (expense), net of $28.0 million ($17.7 million after-tax or $0.38 per diluted share) pertaining to interest rate derivative transactions related to the acquisition of the Surface Specialties business. These derivatives were entered into to partially hedge the impact of potential increases in interest rates related to the Surface Specialties acquisition and require mark to market accounting. Hence, any changes to the fair value are recorded as a gain or loss in the period incurred. The interest rate derivatives are still outstanding pending the anticipated refinancing of our 364 day credit facility later this year. Interest Expense Mr. Cronin added, "Interest expense is significantly higher than the prior year quarter primarily due to the higher levels of debt outstanding associated with the Surface Specialties acquisition, as well as the charge related to the MOPPRS redemption." "In order to take advantage of current interest rates during the quarter, we redeemed our $120 million MOPPRS at the optional redemption price of approximately $141 million including $21 million for the value of redeeming the securities prior to their final maturity. In addition, we recognized a charge of $1 million from amounts related to the unamortized put premium and rate lock agreements for these securities. Accordingly, interest expense for the quarter includes a total pre-tax charge of $22.0 million related to this transaction." Income Tax Expense Mr. Cronin continued, "The Company's effective tax rate for continuing operations for the quarter was favorably impacted by a reduction in income tax expense of $9.6 million ($0.20 per diluted share) related to a partial resolution of a tax audit in Norway with respect to prior year tax returns. The remaining liability pertaining to the Norway tax audits is 84 million Norwegian krone or $12.8 million. In prior years, as this matter developed, the Company accrued for the potential unfavorable outcome of this dispute and has retained tax counsel to assist in the defense of the remaining Norwegian assessment. We believe the remaining issues will likely be litigated given Cytec's vigorous defense in protesting the additional assessment of tax. Also favorably impacting the rate were the losses incurred in the U.S. on the interest rate derivatives and the MOPPRS redemption. The tax benefit on these losses is recorded at 36.5%. Excluding these items, the Company's underlying effective tax rate for the quarter would have been 27% which compares to 23% in the same period of last year. As expected, this increase is primarily attributable to relatively more earnings from acquired Surface Specialties entities in countries with higher tax rates than in countries for heritage Cytec." Earnings from Discontinued Operations Discontinued operations represent the net after tax results of the Surface Specialties' Amino Resins product line (SSAR). In June 2005 we announced a definitive agreement to sell SSAR to affiliates of INEOS Group Limited for net cash consideration of EUR 64 million ($78 million at 1.22$/EUR) subject to customary closing adjustments. The pending sale was made pursuant to our commitments under orders by the FTC and the EC to divest SSAR following our acquisition of the Surface Specialties business earlier this year. We expect to complete this transaction at the end of August, 2005. Cash Flow Mr. Cronin continued, "For the quarter, trade accounts receivable increased due to the higher level of sales and an increase in days outstanding of 3. This is to be expected as the acquired Surface Specialties business has a higher mix of international business where payment terms are typically longer. Inventory decreased as certain of our plants were run at reduced rates part of the quarter. Capital spending for the quarter was $30 million, which includes spending for capacity expansions principally in our mining chemicals and carbon fiber product lines." 2005 Outlook Mr. Lilley commented further, "We move into the second half of 2005 with the organizational aspects of the integration of Surface Specialties into Cytec essentially completed. We are now re-focusing the efforts of Surface Specialties on delighting our customers through technology and enhanced technical service, and initiating operational excellence programs in manufacturing and supply chain operations where we now believe there are clearly many opportunities for improvement. The emphasis on selling price initiatives across Cytec is continuing to show results but with oil and natural gas prices remaining high, we expect little relief from high raw material and energy costs. The slowdown in market demand in our Performance Specialties and Surface Specialties segments experienced in the latter part of the first quarter continued into the second quarter. We did see a slight pickup in demand towards the end of the second quarter, particularly in Asia, but Europe remains weak. Our aerospace markets continue to improve as build rates for large commercial aircraft and rotorcraft increase. The US dollar has strengthened versus the euro and the euro is now a major currency for Cytec after the acquisition of Surface Specialties. Assuming all other factors remain the same, overall a one cent change in the dollar to euro exchange ratio impacts Cytec by about $1 million with about half of that in Surface Specialties. A strengthening dollar has a negative impact on our Surface Specialties, Performance Specialties and Building Block Chemicals segments and a positive impact on the Engineered Materials segment. Our previous full year outlook assumed a dollar to euro ratio of $1.31 and we now project that to be $1.25. The following specific details for the full year excludes the purchase accounting charges for in-process research and development in the first quarter and inventory step-up in the first and second quarters, the environmental dispute settlement in the first quarter, the charge in the second quarter for the anticipated settlement of a certain litigation matter, the acquisition related net hedge gains or losses including unrealized gains and losses through the date the hedges remain outstanding, the charges for the redemption of the MOPPRS in the second quarter, the actual and forecasted integration and severance costs, the tax benefits from the closure of prior year audits in the US in the first quarter and the partial resolution of the Norwegian prior year tax audits in the second quarter. "In Cytec Performance Specialties, our guidance for sales and operating earnings is unchanged. We expect sales to increase 5%-10% with about two-thirds due to selling price increases and the remainder split between volume and exchange. Most of the volume increase is in the mining chemicals product line as demand for copper and alumina remains strong. Operating earnings are forecast to increase to a range of $56-$58 million due to the selling price increases as well as reduced operating costs offsetting raw material cost increases. "In Cytec Surface Specialties, we see some additional weakness in Europe with Asia improving more slowly than anticipated but the selling price increases are holding in most but not all areas. We see demand in North America being flat overall with sales related to the automotive sector down. As mentioned earlier, the US dollar has also strengthened versus the euro and this has a negative impact on Surface Specialties. So, as a result of our expectation for weak volumes for the second half of 2005 and the impact of unfavorable exchange rate changes, we are updating our forecast for full year sales to be in a range of $1.35 billion to $1.45 billion, down from a range of $1.40 billion to $1.50 billion. The organizational part of the integration is complete so our sales force can focus its energies on our customers and markets and while difficult to quantify we do expect this to have a favorable impact going forward. In addition, we have begun a major effort to ensure that costs are in line with demand levels. The impact on earnings of the stronger dollar is about $2 million unfavorable. Our decision to reduce inventories in line with business requirements also has a negative impact on earnings. In addition, we have substantially completed the asset valuations associated with the acquisition and this has increased depreciation expense by about $4 million on an annualized basis. So taking into account the above, we are updating our operating earnings forecast for this segment to a range of $85-$90 million, down from a range of $95-$100 million. We now see clearly a number of opportunities to improve the operations of the acquired business on top of the synergies we will realize but the impact of these improvements will only occur in the latter part of the year and in 2006. "Cytec Engineered Materials sales are now forecast to increase in a range of 10%-13% up from a range of 8%-12% due to build rate increases in military and commercial aircraft, and the benefits of higher selling prices plus new business. We do expect to see additional leverage from the higher sales in the second half of 2005 and we are making progress in correcting our manufacturing issues in Europe. As a result, we are improving our operating earnings forecast to a range of $100-$105 million up from $95-$100 million. "Building Block Chemical sales forecast for an increase of 12%-15% is down from our previous forecast of 15%-20%, but operating earnings are now expected to increase to about $25 million from our previous forecast of about $22 million due to improved acrylonitrile margin spreads. Propylene, the key raw material for acrylonitrile, trended down in the middle of the quarter but is forecasted to increase again as the year progresses. "The Corporate and Unallocated forecast is now projected to be about a loss of $7 million improved from our previous forecast of a loss of $10 million primarily due to reduced expenses related to our stock based incentive compensation. Equity earnings for the full year will essentially remain at the six month amount of $6.6 million, due to the sale of our share of CYRO in the quarter which is above our previous forecast of $2.6 million. Our remaining joint venture is not material in terms of earnings. Based on a reduced forecast of the euro as well as euro interest rates together with a planned delay in our refinancing of the 364 day credit facility, interest expense, net will now be in a range of $58-$60 million, down from our previous estimate of $63-$66 million. Our estimated annual underlying effective tax rate for ongoing operations remains at 27%." "In terms of cash flow, we are reinvigorating our efforts to reduce working capital particularly in the area of inventory which we believe will be a significant source of cash for us from June 30, 2005 through year end. Capital spending is now forecast to be about $100 million, down from our previous estimate of $120 million. The decrease in anticipated capital spending is primarily in the Surface Specialties segment and reflects our recent completion of a detailed review of previously proposed spending." In closing Mr. Lilley commented, "Based on all of the above, our forecast of overall annual sales is now in a range of $2.9 to $3.0 billion, down from our previous forecast of $3.0 to $3.1 billion. Our forecast for full year diluted earnings per share is unchanged at $3.30 to $3.45. "The people at Cytec have been through uncertain times before and our track record is solid. With our new colleagues in Surface Specialties, we will stick with our winning formula for increasing shareholder value by focusing on what we can control." Six Month Results Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $5.3 million or $0.12 per diluted share on sales of $1,377 million. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2005 were purchase accounting related charges of $20.8 million pre-tax (after-tax $15.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share), related to acquired inventories from Surface Specialties being recorded at fair value which exceeded normal manufacturing cost, a charge of $37.0 million or $0.82 per diluted share related to the write-off of in-process research and development costs of Surface Specialties, a pre-tax charge of $47.9 million (after tax $30.4 million or $0.67 per diluted share) related to currency and interest rate derivative transactions associated with the Surface Specialties acquisition, a pre-tax charge of $2.4 million (after-tax $1.8 million or $0.04 per diluted share) related to an anticipated settlement of a certain litigation matter, a pre-tax charge of $22.0 million (after-tax $14.0 million or $0.31 per diluted share) related to the optional redemption of our Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities (MOPPRS) prior to their maturity, an income tax benefit of $25.7, or $0.57 per diluted share, reflecting favorable partial resolution of tax audits with respect to prior year tax returns, employee redundancy costs of $1.3 million (after tax net $0.9 million or $0.02 per diluted share), and a $4.4 million settlement to resolve a dispute over an environmental matter (after tax net $3.2 million or $0.07 per diluted share). Excluding these special items, net earnings were $82.1 million or $1.81 on a diluted share basis. Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $64.4 million or $1.60 per diluted share on sales of $837 million. This includes a net charge of $0.06 per diluted share representing an after-tax charge of $4.8 million or $0.12 per diluted share in connection with the settlement of several environmental and toxic tort lawsuits partially offset by a $2.4 million credit or $0.06 per diluted share from a favorable outcome of an international tax audit. Excluding these special items net earnings were $66.8 million or $1.66 per diluted share. Investor Conference Call to be Held on August 8, 2005, 11:00 A.M.

Cytec Industries Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures Management believes that net earnings and diluted earnings per share before special items, which are non-GAAP measurements, are meaningful to investors because they provide a view of the Company with respect to ongoing operating results. Special items represent significant charges or credits that are important to an understanding of the Company's overall operating results in the periods presented. Such non-GAAP measurements are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
