              Cytec Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results;
                         Full Year 2006 Outlook Provided


    WEST PATERSON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2006--Cytec
Industries Inc. (NYSE:CYT) announced today net earnings available to
common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2005 of $18.4 million or
$0.39 per diluted share on net sales of $788 million. Included in the
quarter is a $2.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share gain related to a
favorable tax development in an international jurisdiction and
restructuring charges and integration costs of $14.1 million and $0.2
million, respectively (after-tax $10.6 million or $0.22 per diluted
share). Excluding these items, net earnings available to common
stockholders were $26.4 million or $0.56 per diluted share.
    Net earnings available to common stockholders for the fourth
quarter of 2004 were $46.2 million or $1.13 per diluted share on net
sales of $451 million. This includes an after tax net gain of $17.1
million or $0.42 per diluted share related to foreign currency and
interest rate hedging transactions associated with the acquisition of
the Surface Specialties business of UCB Group which was completed on
February 28, 2005. Excluding this special item, net earnings available
to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2004 were $29.1 or
$0.71 per diluted share.
    David Lilley, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
said, "The fourth quarter presented many challenges to Cytec and the
chemical industry. Raw material and energy costs spiked early in the
quarter and our people did a good job of increasing our product
prices, passing along much of the cost increases. On the demand side,
selling volumes in heritage Cytec Specialty Chemicals were generally
flat with the year ago period with declines in North America offset by
gains in Europe and Latin America while Asia was up slightly. On a
pro-forma basis, the acquired Surface Specialties businesses selling
volumes were up year on year. Building Block Chemicals volume was down
in North America and Asia. Cytec Engineered Materials had higher
volumes in the large commercial aircraft, commercial rotorcraft and
military aircraft sectors. In light of the headwinds faced, this was a
solid performance for Cytec."

    The segment results discussed below have been restated to reflect
the transfer of the specialty adhesives and urethanes product lines
from Cytec Surface Specialties to Cytec Performance Chemicals as
outlined in our press release dated January 31, 2006. A brief summary
of our reportable segments reflecting the realigned product lines is
as follows:

    --  Cytec Performance Chemicals - Includes the water treatment
        chemicals, mining chemicals, specialty additives and phosphine
        chemicals, polymer additives, specialty adhesives and
        urethanes.

    --  Cytec Surface Specialties - Includes radcure resins, powder
        coating resins and liquid coating resins.

    --  Cytec Engineered Materials is unchanged.

    --  Building Block Chemicals is unchanged.

    Cytec Performance Chemicals Sales increased 21% to $221 million;
Operating Earnings decreased to $17 million

    Mr. Lilley continued, "In Cytec Performance Chemicals, sales of
product lines related to the acquisition of Surface Specialties added
15% to sales. In our heritage product lines, selling prices increased
6%, selling volumes increased 1% and exchange rate changes decreased
sales 1%. The selling price increases were across all product lines
and covered most but not all of the much higher raw material and
energy costs. Volumes increased in the mining chemicals and specialty
additives and phosphine chemicals due to improving demand and new
business. Water treatment chemicals and polymer additives selling
volumes declined due to the impact on demand from the hurricanes and
continuing sluggish industrial demand in North America. For the
acquired product lines, on a pro-forma basis, volumes were essentially
flat, selling prices increased 10% and exchange rate changes decreased
sales 5%.
    "The decrease in operating earnings of $2.6 million was primarily
due to the impact of higher raw material and energy costs which were
not fully offset by selling price increases as well as lower fixed
cost absorption as we ran certain of our plants at reduced levels to
bring inventory levels in-line with demand.

    Cytec Surface Specialties Sales increased 450% to $351 million;
Operating Earnings increase to $14 million

    "Almost all of the sales increase in Cytec Surface Specialties is
due to sales of product lines related to the acquisition of Surface
Specialties. In our heritage product lines selling prices increased
1%, exchange rate changes decreased sales 2% while volumes were down
1% principally in North America where demand remains weak, partially
offset by higher volumes in Asia-Pacific. For the acquired product
lines, on a pro-forma basis, selling volumes were up 6% due to
recovery of business, selling prices increased 6% and exchange rate
changes decreased sales 5%.
    "Operating earnings increased $8.9 million primarily due to the
addition of results from the Surface Specialties product lines.

    Cytec Engineered Materials Sales increase 17% to $137 million;
Operating Earnings increase to $27 million

    "Cytec Engineered Materials sales volumes increased 14% and
selling prices were up 3% and the impact of exchange rate changes was
flat. The volume increases were primarily due to increased aircraft
build rates for large commercial aircraft, commercial rotorcraft and
military aircraft.
    "The increase of $12.9 million in operating earnings primarily
reflects the impact of increased selling volumes, the related leverage
on costs from the higher volumes, improving manufacturing performance
and good expense controls.

    Building Block Chemicals Sales decrease 9% to $79 million;
Operating loss of $4 million

    "Building Block Chemicals selling volumes were down 18% and
exchange rate changes reduced sales another 1% but these declines were
partially offset by higher selling prices of 10%. Our sales of
acrylonitrile in Asia-Pacific and North America were impacted by
customers reducing their purchases caused by higher selling prices in
the regions and high inventories. The increase in acrylonitrile
selling prices was driven primarily by higher raw material costs as
producers attempted to recover costs and improve margins.
    "As a result of the lower demand, the acrylonitrile plant ran at
less than capacity for part of the quarter. Selling prices were not
able to catch up to the raw material and energy cost increases
experienced in the quarter as propylene and natural gas increased 23%
and 35%, respectively, versus the same period of last year. In
addition, the operating loss reflects the impact from repairs of
damage from the hurricanes of about $1.1 million with some minor work
still to be completed in the first quarter of 2006."

    Earnings in Associated Companies

    Earnings in Associated Companies for the fourth quarter of 2005
decreased from the prior year period as a result of the May 2005 sale
of our 50% interest in CYRO Industries to our former partner, Degussa.

    Corporate and Unallocated

    James P. Cronin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer commented, "During the quarter, we recorded a charge of $14.1
million ($10.5 million after tax or $0.22 per diluted share) for
employee-related severance costs principally related to our recently
announced formation of Cytec Specialty Chemicals whereby we combined
our specialty chemicals product lines into one organization under one
leadership team. We anticipate that most of the restructuring related
to this reorganization will be completed in the first half of this
year. In connection with the Surface Specialties acquisition we have
begun projects which are primarily related to the elimination of the
transition service agreements with the former owner for our
information technology hardware infrastructure and incurred
integration costs of $0.2 million."

    Interest Expense

    Interest expense is significantly higher than the prior year
quarter primarily due to the higher average levels of debt outstanding
resulting from the Surface Specialties acquisition.

    Income Tax Expense

    Mr. Cronin added, "Our tax provision for the quarter was $2.9
million, or 13.5%, on the earnings before income taxes. Included in
the tax provision is a credit of $2.6 million related to a further
reduction in income tax expense concerning a tax audit in Norway with
respect to prior year's tax returns. Excluding this item, our
underlying effective tax rate for the quarter was 26 %. This compares
to an underlying rate of 25% for the same period of 2004."

    Cash Flow

    Cash flow provided by operations was $59.0 million for the
quarter. Trade accounts receivable dollars were up sequentially due to
higher sales but days outstanding were essentially flat. Inventory
dollars and days were down slightly as we reduced production at
certain facilities to bring inventories more in line with demand but
this was mostly offset by higher raw material and energy costs.
Capital spending for the quarter was $30 million bringing our full
year total to $105 million.

    2006 Outlook

    Mr. Lilley commented further, "We expect 2006 to be another
challenging year as we anticipate raw material and energy costs to
remain high but volatile. We have been doing a good job at recovering
the value for our products but the volatility of raw materials and
energy costs also increases the difficulty of passing along spikes in
these costs. On the demand side, our aerospace markets continue to
grow as the build rates for large commercial aircraft, business jets,
military aircraft and commercial rotorcraft continue to increase and
our customers utilize more advanced composites. We are forecasting
weak industrial demand in Cytec Specialty Chemicals in North America
and Europe with the largest impact on our Cytec Surface Specialties
segment and certain of our Cytec Performance Chemicals product lines.
While there were some signs of improvement in the European region in
the fourth quarter of 2005, we remain cautious until we see a more
sustainable improvement in demand. We expect Asia-Pacific and Latin
America to have good growth in 2006. Please note that our reported
results of 2005 include only 10 months of operations from the acquired
Surface Specialties business. Two month pro-forma 2005 sales were $225
million. Our exchange rate assumptions for 2006 include the dollar to
euro rate averaging $1.25.
    "Our guidance for the year includes pre-tax incremental
share-based employee compensation expense of approximately $ 10.5
million ($7.7 million after tax or $0.16 per diluted share) which is
the estimated impact of our adopting Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123(R), "Share Based Payment", (FAS 123R) as of January
1, 2006.
    Excluded from our guidance is $4 to $5 million pre-tax for
integration expenses related to the Surface Specialties acquisition.
These integration expenses, the majority of which are duplicative in
nature, are anticipated to be incurred primarily as a result of our
elimination of transition service agreements currently in place with
the former owner regarding the information technology hardware
infrastructure and are expected to be completed in 2006. In addition,
as we continue to identify further benefits of our previously
announced organization consolidation of our specialty chemicals
product lines into Cytec Specialty Chemicals and we expect to announce
further restructuring charges in the first half of the year in the
range of $3 to $5 million. These potential charges are excluded from
our guidance.

    "Cytec's specific segment detail for the full year is as follows:

    "In Cytec Performance Chemicals, our guidance is for sales to
increase to a range of $900 to $940 million from $856 million with
about a third of the increase due to increased selling prices, about a
quarter related to the additional two months of sales from the
acquired product lines and the remainder due to volume increases. Two
month pro-forma sales in 2005 for the acquired product lines included
in this segment were $20 million. We see continuing strong demand in
our mining chemicals product line and more moderate demand in the
remainder. Operating earnings are expected to increase to a range of
$70 to $75 million due primarily to the higher sales and supported by
continuing manufacturing productivity improvements and good expense
controls. Included in operating earnings is approximately $2.3 million
of incremental share-based compensation expense due to the adoption of
FAS 123R in 2006.
    "In Cytec Surface Specialties, our guidance is for sales to
increase to a range of $1.46 to $1.51 billion from $1.24 billion with
about 85% of the increase due to the additional two months of sales
from the acquired product lines and the remainder due to selling price
and modest volume increases. Two month pro-forma sales in 2005 for the
acquired product lines included in this segment were $205 million. We
anticipate continuing weak demand in North America and Europe but we
expect to continue to see good progress in the Asia-Pacific and Latin
American regions and from new global product introductions. Operating
earnings are expected to increase to a range of $85 to $95 million and
this includes approximately $4.5 million of incremental share-based
compensation expense related to FAS 123R. We continue to see many
opportunities to improve our manufacturing and supply chain operations
and with our new organization for Specialty Chemicals in place we
expect the improvement initiatives to continue.
    "In Cytec Engineered Materials, our guidance is for sales to
increase to a range of $590 to $620 million from $542 million with
about a quarter of the increase due to increased selling prices and
the remainder due to volume increases. We anticipate increased
aircraft production spurred by the recent orders and the rising
backlog at the large aircraft manufacturers, and continuing
development of new applications for advanced composites. We expect a
continuing high level of investment in our selling, technical and
research and development expenses in light of the continuing
opportunities with aircraft manufacturers as they develop new
platforms for the future. Operating earnings are expected to increase
to a range of $110 to $120 million and includes approximately $2.2
million of incremental share-based compensation expense related to FAS
123R.
    "In Building Block Chemicals, our guidance is for sales to
increase to a range of $340 to $355 million of which selling price
increases account for about 40% and the remainder is due to volume
increases. The full year average forecast for the price of propylene
is a range of $0.42-$0.44 per pound and our price for US natural gas
is $9 per MMBTU. Also, we expect a negative impact on Cytec of
approximately $5 million in 2006 due to operating inefficiencies in
the melamine plant as we expect our partner will be taking little, if
any volumes from that plant this year. In 2005, our partner took their
full share of 50% of the plant's output. Including the melamine
impact, operating earnings are expected to be in a range of $17 to 20
million and includes approximately $1.5 million of incremental
share-based compensation expense related to FAS 123R.
    "In Corporate and Unallocated, our guidance for 2006 is a loss of
about $7 million which is similar to 2005. Our guidance for other
income(expense), net is expense of about $3 million and our guidance
for equity earnings is about $2 million. Our 2006 guidance for
interest expense, net is a range of $54 to $56 million and our
estimated underlying annual effective tax rate for ongoing operations
is 27%.
    In closing Mr. Lilley commented, "Based on all of the above our
forecast of overall annual 2006 sales is now in a range of $3.29 to
$3.42 billion and our forecast for full year diluted earnings per
share is $3.45 to $3.70 an increase of 12% to 20% over 2005's $3.07
per diluted share excluding items as discussed under the full year
results below.
    "We begin 2006 cautiously, but with momentum and optimism that by
focusing on what we can control and being flexible to react to rapidly
changing market conditions, we believe we can deliver the highest
performance for all our stakeholders."

    Use of 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 period 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. A
reconciliation of GAAP measurements to non-GAAP can be found at the
end of this release.

             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.
