02 Results
Eastman reported Q2 EPS of $1.92, up 7%, and $0.08 or 4% above consensus of $1.84.
A lower than expected tax rate added $0.01. The upside was driven by stronger than
expected results in Adhesives & Plasticizers and SFI. Sales rose 1% on flat volumes and
price while FX added 1%. EBIT fell 3% to $441MM while margins compressed 70bps
YoY (+130 O°O) to 17.9% amid higher propane costs. Eastman reaffirmed '14 EPS
guidance of $6.70-$7.00, up 4-9% YoY (consensus: $6.93).
Additives & Functional Products sales rose 5% on 4% higher volumes on improved
coatings demand (building and construction, transportation). EBIT fell 2% to $103MM
(cons: $104MM) while margins compressed 160 bps to 22.8% on higher propane
prices.
Adhesives & Plasticizers sales rose 6% on 9% higher volumes partially offset by 4%
lower price. EBIT rose 12% to $56MM (cons: $45MM) as adhesive demand appears to
have turned the corner following last year's sharp declines and a shift towards
Eastman's non-phthalate plasticizers owing to substitution away from phthalate
plasticizers. Margins expanded 90 bps to 15.6%.
Advanced Materials sales rose 1% on flat volumes and price while FX added 1%. EBIT
fell 1% to $80MM (cons: $87MM) as margins compressed 30 bps to 12.7% owing to
the impact of the Kingsport outage.
Fibers sales rose 6% on 4% higher price and 2% higher volume. EBIT climbed 6% to
$123MM (cons: $126MM) while margins compressed 10 bps to 31.9%.
Specialty Fluids & Intermediates sales fell 6% on 8% lower volume due to the Kingsport
outage partially offset by 2% higher price. EBIT fell 19% to $96MM (cons: $81MM) and
margins compressed 220 bps to 15.2% on higher propane costs and the effects from
the Kingsport outage.
