Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) reported first quarter 2011 earnings of $106.6 million, or $1.15 per share, compared to first quarter 2010 earnings of $63.3 million, or 69 cents per share.  Excluding the $7.0 million ($4.6 million after tax, or 5 cents per share) charge for restructuring costs at our Bergheim, Germany site in the first quarter of 2010, earnings for the first quarter of 2010 were $67.9 million, or $0.74 per share.  The Company reported net sales of $696.5 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to net sales of $580.3 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Commenting on results, Mark C. Rohr, Chairman and CEO, stated, "I am extremely pleased with our performance this quarter as we achieved our highest quarterly earnings and EBITDA in the Company's history, as well as record income levels for all three of our operating segments.  We continue to benefit from improving trends in the markets served by our businesses and our keen focus on cost control and cash generation.  We expect the strength of our core technologies and key market insights to continue to drive solid earnings growth in 2011."

Quarterly Segment Results

Polymer Solutions delivered net sales of $258.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, a 19 percent increase over net sales in the first quarter of 2010, due primarily to favorable pricing.  Segment income for Polymer Solutions was $69.5 million in the first quarter of 2011, a 66 percent increase from $41.8 million in the first quarter of 2010.  This increase was due primarily to favorable pricing, partly offset by higher variable input costs and higher charges attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Catalysts generated net sales of $261.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, a 15 percent increase over net sales in the first quarter of 2010, due primarily to higher volumes and favorable pricing.  Catalysts segment income was $72.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, a 32 percent increase from $55.1 million in the first quarter of 2010.  This improvement was attributable primarily to higher volumes and favorable pricing, offset in part by higher variable input costs.  Also, first quarter 2011 Catalysts segment income benefited from higher equity income versus first quarter 2010.  

Fine Chemistry net sales in the first quarter of 2011 were $177.3 million, a 30 percent increase over net sales in the first quarter of 2010, due mainly to higher volumes as well as favorable pricing.  Fine Chemistry segment income for the first quarter of 2011 was $29.5 million, up 151 percent compared to $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2010.  This improvement in segment income was due primarily to higher volumes and favorable pricing, partly offset by higher variable input costs and higher charges attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other expense was $23.6 million for the first quarter of 2011.  The increase over the comparable period in 2010 was due mainly to higher personnel-related costs.  

Cash Flow

In the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash on hand funded capital expenditures for plant, machinery and equipment of $31.9 million and dividends to shareholders of $12.9 million.  Additionally, we made repayments of long-term debt of $100.6 million and pension and postretirement contributions of $51.9 million during the first quarter of 2011.  Interest and financing expenses increased to $9.6 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to higher average interest rates on our outstanding borrowings during the 2011 period.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had $441.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.  

Taxes

Our first quarter 2011 effective income tax rate was 24.2 percent versus 23.4 percent in the first quarter of 2010.  Excluding the special item, our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was 24.4 percent.  Our effective tax rate continues to be influenced by the level and geographic mix of income and benefits from a favorable mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions.  

Outlook

Positive market trends, coupled with continued success in new product development and rigorous cost controls, should provide the basis for strong top and bottom-line growth in 2011.  Our balanced portfolio, geographic reach and commitment to operational excellence position Albemarle for long-term growth.

Earnings Call

The Company's performance for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 will be discussed on a conference call at 9:00 AM Eastern Daylight time on April 20, 2011.  The call can be accessed by dialing 866-700-6067 (International Dial In # 617-213-8834), and entering conference ID 61127439.  The Company's earnings presentation and supporting material can be accessed through Albemarle's website under Investors at www.albemarle.com.

Additional Information

It should be noted that earnings or per share amounts excluding special items, EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items, EBITDA margin, EBITDA margin excluding special items, segment operating profit and segment income are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.  These measures are presented here to provide additional useful measurements to review our operations, provide transparency to investors and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance.

A description of other non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate our operations and financial performance, and reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, can be found in the Investors section of our website at www.albemarle.com, under "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" under "Financials."  Also, see attached for a supplemental reconciliation of our segment operating profit and segment income amounts to GAAP Operating profit and GAAP Net income attributable to Albemarle Corporation, respectively, as well as for a supplemental reconciliation of our GAAP Net income attributable to Albemarle Corporation to EBITDA and EBITDA excluding special items.

ALBEMARLE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

(In Thousands)

(Unaudited)

Our segment information includes measures we refer to as "segment operating profit," "segment income," "EBITDA" and "EBITDA excluding special items," which are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The Company has reported segment operating profit, segment income, EBITDA and EBITDA excluding special items because management believes that these financial measures provide transparency to investors and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance.  Segment operating profit, segment income, EBITDA and EBITDA excluding special items should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or net income attributable to Albemarle Corporation, as determined in accordance with GAAP.

See below for a reconciliation of segment operating profit and segment income, the non-GAAP financial measures, to operating profit and net income attributable to Albemarle Corporation, respectively, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.
