1 Chemicals Industry Outlook VERSION 02 YEAR 13 OUTLOOK: Positive fundamentals & outlook
2 Key Points The U.S. chemical manufacturing industry is growing and is supported by increasing demand from several key end-use markets such as appliances, computer and electronics, plastic and rubber products. The demand from the American car manufacturing industry remains one of the most positive factors supporting the industry. The industry growth is somewhat impaired by weak demand for chemicals from major foreign markets. North American chemical manufacturers continue to benefit from the abundant supply and low prices of natural gas. The producers of ethylene-based plastics are the major beneficiaries of natural gas windfall. Overview The chemical industry is a cyclical business highly dependent on the changes of the global economy and reliant on the costs of basic commodities, especially oil and gas. Since many chemical products are consumed at early stages of the production supply chain, the chemicals industry is often considered an early indicator for the economic cycle. The Great Recession was quite harmful for the industry, as demand plummeted for everything from industrial chemicals and plastics to paint and adhesives to fertilizers. As the economy started to bounce back in the U.S., the chemicals industry quickly picked up pace. However, after a strong recovery in 2010 and 2011, industry production growth slowed to 1.6% in 2012 and contracted by 0.2% in Q1 of 2013 before resuming modest growth of 2.1% in Q2.
3 Current Situation Industry performance in the remaining months of 2013 and early 2014 is likely to be very similar to According to the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector is increasing and output in several key chemistry end-use markets such as appliances, computer and electronics, plastic and rubber products are improving in 2013 and are expected to remain resilient throughout The strength of the American car manufacturing industry remains one of the most positive factors in chemicals demand. In contrast with the positive domestic outlook, global markets are likely to experience weaker demand for chemicals, plastics and coatings due to slowing economies in China, India and Brazil, as well as the persisting financial problems in Europe. Meanwhile, American chemical manufacturers continue to benefit from the extremely low price of domestic natural gas. Henry Hub natural gas prices are currently trading in the mid-$3 range, down significantly from the pre-recession peak of $13 in mid The increase in shale gas and shale oil production is having a very positive effect on the industry, as a broad range of U.S.-based chemical companies benefit from lower costs for natural gas-based feedstock and lower cost inputs for plastics, coatings, adhesives and fertilizers. According to American Chemistry Council, U.S. shale deposits contain up to 100 years of natural gas supply. One area of concern for domestic gas prices is the recent spike in applications for natural gas export facilities as certain U.S. operators attempt to capitalize on the price disparity between domestic natural gas prices and those in foreign markets, particularly in Japan and Europe. To date, the U.S. has approved three facilities and has nearly two dozen applications awaiting approval. The possibility of the United States becoming a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter is worrisome for manufacturers and heavy industry as unlimited gas exports could harm their resurgent sectors by raising domestic prices. However, prices will remain low for several more years as the first facility, Cheniere Energy s Sabine Pass LNG terminal, is not scheduled to come online until late U.S. Petrochemical Revenue Growth Industry Revenue YOY % Change $ billions $120 $110 $100 $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 $ % 40.0% 20.0% 0.0% -20.0% -40.0% Source: IBISWorld
4 Petrochemicals Low domestic natural gas prices have significantly reduced the input costs of North American petrochemical producers and allowed them to increase exporting activity as they become more competitive in the global marketplace. Low feedstock costs prevent imports of oil-based petrochemical products from Europe and the Middle East, and have resulted in a chemical plant construction boom on the Gulf Coast due to its close proximity to major oil and gas input terminals. Natural Gas Prices The producers of ethylene-based plastics are major beneficiaries of low-priced natural gas from shale formations. As gas prices declined substantially, ethylene margins have improved. Manufacturers of oil-based chemicals are benefiting from the moderate level of U.S. oil prices, more complex hydrocarbons derived from crude oil remain relatively more expensive and their supply more volatile. The U.S. petrochemical manufacturing sector is anticipated to grow through 2018 due to increasing demand from key buyers such as plastic and rubber manufacturers, driven by increased chemical intake from customers further downstream. We expect revenue growth in the mid-single digits at a pace slightly ahead of GDP growth.

5 Plastics and Resins Plastic and resin manufacturing is heavily dependent on demand from two key sectors: manufacturing and construction. Plastic and resin makers underwent hard times during as both of these sectors experienced significant demand and revenue declines during the recession. Although the sector generally recovered in 2010, the most recent results remained unimpressive due to sluggish economic performance. As mentioned before, industrial production is increasing in several important sub-sectors. Construction continues to improve due to low interest rates and record home affordability, causing builders to increase demand for plastic-based construction materials. Overall, the sector outlook for the next several years seems much brighter.

We expect industry revenue growth to slightly outpace GDP advancement. Margins are expected to be quite robust, due to support from low natural gas prices. Liquidity will remain healthy, thanks to conservative management of corporate balance sheets, generally high cash reserves and easy access to credit for most major players in the chemicals industry.
